The fighting is taking place near the Durand Line, the location where Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring the TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan). Pakistan frequently accuses the TTP of carrying out attacks on its territory.

In retaliation, Pakistan launched drone strikes in Kandahar and Helmand. Amid the tensions, the two countries have closed the border, disrupting trade and stranding thousands of vehicles.
