Since the conflict, 12 Pakistani soldiers have died, 27 have been injured, and 1 is missing in action.  

In addition, over 73 Afghan camps were destroyed, and 115 tanks and artillery vehicles were damaged. 18 camps are currently under the control of Pakistan.

According to reports from Afghanistan on the 27th, as tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan escalate, Qatar has proposed to mediate the conflict and help ease tensions between the two sides.  

It is reported that Qatari officials have contacted representatives of the Afghan government and expressed their willingness to work towards easing bilateral friction. At present, it is unclear whether the Afghan side has responded to the mediation proposal.  

On the same day, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal stated that he had a phone call with Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Darul to exchange views on regional developments and ways to ease tensions. Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghi called on Afghanistan and Pakistan to properly manage and resolve their differences through dialogue within the framework of good neighborly relations, and stated that Iran is prepared to provide all necessary assistance to promote dialogue, enhance mutual understanding and cooperation between the two countries.  

On the night of the 26th to the early morning of the 27th, Afghanistan and Pakistan engaged in a firefight in the border area between the two countries. The Pakistani army carried out airstrikes on the Afghan capital Kabul, as well as multiple locations in the southern province of Kandahar and the eastern province of Paktika, rapidly escalating tensions between the two countries.
