Pakistan-Afghanistan Tensions May Escalate in 2026: ICG Report

The International Crisis Group (ICG) has released a report saying that the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan might get worse in 2026.

Pakistan and Afghanistan had a fight last year because Pakistan said Afghanistan was hiding bad guys who were hurting Pakistani soldiers.

Afghanistan said no, and they fought back.

Now, both countries are very angry at each other, and they are not talking or trading.

The ICG says that if the bad guys keep causing trouble, Pakistan might attack Afghanistan again, and Afghanistan might fight back very strongly.

This could make the situation even worse.
