description: "Most outlets reported that Pakistan dismissed the Afghan Taliban’s allegations linking Islamabad to violence in Nuristan province as \"frivolous,\" \"baseless,\" or \"fabricated.\" Several emphasized the lack of evidence provided by the Taliban to support the claims. A few, including *The Nation* and *Daily Times*, noted Pakistan’s call for verifiable action against terrorist groups operating from Afghan soil. The framing was largely consistent across the coverage, with most outlets quoting similar official language from Pakistan’s information ministry or government statements."
