Shortly before a ceasefire brought an end to a week of violence along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in which dozens of troops and civilians were killed, a video of a fire at a plaza in Peshawar was shared in posts falsely claiming it was the result of an Afghan drone attack.

Pakistani authorities have raised alarms about Afghanistan's water management policies, citing risks to energy and food supplies.
