the escalation between the taliban and pakistan arises from pakistan's cross-border airstrikes targeting tehrik-i-taliban pakistan (ttp) militants sheltered in afghanistan, which the taliban sees as territorial incursions.

key triggers include a recent explosion in kabul that the taliban attributes to pakistan, ongoing ttp attacks from afghan soil, and deteriorating diplomatic ties amid india's growing influence with the taliban.
