Pakistan has long been accusing Afghanistan, saying that the government there provides shelter to the Pakistani Taliban and other militant organizations, which carry out attacks in Pakistan.
However, Afghanistan has been continuously rejecting these allegations.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council has also expressed concern over the increasing tension in the region and appealed to Afghanistan to intensify action against terrorism.
The increasing attacks and retaliation between the two countries have made the situation more serious.
