Four civilians died in clashes along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border late Friday. Each country has accused the other of starting "unprovoked" attacks in the tense region.
The violence occurred nearly one week after the two neighbors held new peace talks. Those discussions ended without a breakthrough, though both sides agreed to continue a fragile ceasefire.
The exchange of fire highlights ongoing tensions along the disputed border. The frontier, known as the Durand Line, is a long-standing source of disagreement between Kabul and Islamabad.
