Pakistani and Afghan officials reported renewed border fire late Friday evening, following the failure of peace talks in Saudi Arabia. According to Al Jazeera, each side blames the other for firing the first shot, leading to intense gunfire.

Local residents in Afghanistan's border areas told AFP that the firefight broke out late Friday night and lasted for about two hours.

The conflict comes amid rising tensions, exacerbated by mutual accusations of harboring militants and recent attacks on the border.
