Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has threatened to "completely obliterate" the Afghan Taliban following failed peace talks in Istanbul. The diplomatic crisis escalated after Pakistan admitted to allowing US drone operations from its territory, with Afghanistan warning of "reciprocal action" if its territory is bombed. Despite the breakdown in negotiations, the ceasefire between the two nations remains intact.
