KABUL, March 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - AFP journalists in Kabul heard multiple explosions and gunfire on Tuesday, as Afghan and Pakistani troops keep up their border battles. The blasts in the Afghan capital were heard alongside anti-aircraft weapons and gunfire from across the city, and came as the Afghan defence ministry said "the fighting is still ongoing" against Pakistani forces. An AFP journalist in Jalalabad city, between Kabul and the frontier, reported hearing explosions and various weapons being fired. At least 39 civilians have been killed since Thursday, the Afghan government said, a toll which Pakistan has not commented on. The border fighting has hit multiple Afghan provinces.
