High-level delegations from Pakistan and Afghanistan are set to commence talks in Doha, Qatar, a source revealed during the reporting window. The discussions are expected to address ongoing regional tensions, though specific details of the agenda remain undisclosed. This development occurs amidst heightened security concerns along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and internal policy shifts. The talks follow a recent engagement where the Afghan Freedom Front (AFF) claimed responsibility for the assassination of a Taliban commander, Qari Khalid. According to a statement from @Natsecjeff, the commander was killed in the Angurbagh area of Kunduz province on Wednesday, October 15th, 2025, at approximately 9:38 PM local time while en route from the army corps to the Chahar Dara district. This period also saw Pakistan's Security Forces report thwarting an infiltration attempt by the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) from Afghanistan into the Momand area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, resulting in the deaths of approximately 45-50 TTP terrorists. This incident reportedly occurred during a ceasefire requested by the Taliban regime, as announced by @AnasMallick. Furthermore, Pakistan had previously ordered the immediate evacuation and deportation of refugees from twenty-eight Afghan refugee camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on October 16th, 2025. This directive was disseminated through official channels, including X accounts @OSPSF and @Natsecjeff, and coincided with observed movements of the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) from various areas within Mamond Tehsil to Charmang.
