Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire after dozens of soldiers and civilians were killed in the fresh border clashes that erupted on Wednesday.

The ceasefire was announced after a Pakistani security source confirmed to news agency AFP that Islamabad had carried out “precision strikes” in Kabul.

Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid took to the X social media platform to inform that a ceasefire was “established between the two countries after 5:30 pm [1300 GMT] this evening.”

The Taliban government in Afghanistan also ordered the army to respect the ceasefire. "The Islamic Emirate also orders all its forces to respect this ceasefire," Mujahid said.
