In Jan 2026, Pakistan accused Afghanistan of harboring groups including:

1. Al-Shabab only
2. ETA
3. TTP and IS affiliates
4. FARC

Pakistan formally communicated to the interim Afghan administration that its territory is being used by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) to plan cross-border attacks. Islamabad presented evidence of sanctuaries and demanded concrete action rather than denials. The accusation reflects deepening friction between the neighbors over divergent counter-terrorism priorities and ideological sympathies.
