Dozens of fighters were killed in overnight border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, in the most serious fighting between the neighbours since the Taliban came to power in Kabul. The Pakistan military said 23 of its soldiers were killed in the clashes. The Taliban said nine on its side were killed. Afghan troops opened fire on Pakistani border posts late on Saturday. Pakistan said it had responded with gun and artillery fire. Each side said it inflicted far higher casualties on the other side, without providing evidence. Pakistan said it had killed more than 200 Afghan Taliban and allied fighters, while Afghanistan said it had killed 58 Pakistani soldiers.
