High-level delegations from Pakistan and Afghanistan continued discussions in Doha, Qatar, throughout the reporting window of October 16th, 2025, from 6:38 PM to 7:38 PM UTC, focusing on regional security. During this period, analysis emerged regarding the location of a recently released video featuring Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud. Twitter user @ayubverse suggested the video was filmed above the tree line with visible snow, likely on the eastern side of a valley, based on sun position and overlapping mountain ranges, an analysis echoed by @bsarwary and @andynovy. Conversely, another analysis shared by @MinionKingX74, citing Umar Media, stated the video's location is in Kunar, Afghanistan, near the Nuristan National Park. The Doha talks, which commenced earlier on October 16th, 2025, involve intelligence chiefs, deputy prime ministers, and defense and foreign ministers from both nations, according to sources familiar with the developments. These discussions aim to address regional security concerns, including the activities of the TTP and border security. This development follows Pakistan's earlier directive on October 16th, 2025, for the immediate evacuation and deportation of refugees from twenty-eight Afghan refugee camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
