Pakistan has faced recurring attacks that they attributed to Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP, ‘the Pakistani Taliban’) and has accused the Afghan de facto authorities of harbouring this organisation. This resulted in several border clashes, and airstrikes that impacted Afghan civilian population. Between 1 December 2025 and 20 March 2026 UCDP recorded 360 civilian deaths, although cautioning that the data is preliminary amid the conflict with Pakistan and that the records of civilian deaths recorded during this period might increase.
