Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire on Wednesday after dozens were killed and many wounded in violent border clashes. The truce comes following intense fighting along their shared frontier, which saw Taliban forces release drone strike footage bombing Pakistani outposts and seizing military equipment including a Serbian-procured T-55 tank. Earlier reports indicated Taliban claimed 15 civilian deaths with over 100 injured, including 80 women and children in Spin Boldak district, while Pakistan's military reported killing approximately 50 Taliban fighters across multiple border engagements. The conflict marked the worst violence between the neighbors since Taliban's 2021 power seizure, prompting Islamabad to seek mediation from Qatar and Saudi Arabia before this ceasefire agreement.
