Afghanistan and Pakistan have announced a temporary ceasefire, putting an end to the fighting which broke out between their forces on Wednesday morning. Over a dozen civilian deaths have been reported in the latest exchange of fire between the two neighbors.<\/p>\n

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry announced several hours after the clash that Kabul and Islamabad have agreed to a limited 48-hour truce, which is to begin at 6pm local time (13:00 GMT) on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

In its statement, the ministry said both sides “will make sincere efforts through dialogue to find a positive solution to their complex yet resolvable issues.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid wrote on X that Pakistani forces had launched an attack, firing “light and heavy weapons,”<\/em> killing 12 civilians and injuring more than 100. <\/p>\n

He claimed Afghan forces had returned fire, killing a “large number”<\/em> of soldiers, seizing Pakistani weapons and tanks, and destroying military installations.<\/p>\n

Ali Mohammad Haqmal, a press spokesman in Spin Boldak district, Afghanistan, the reported site of the altercation, put the civilian death toll at 15. AFP has also cited a local hospital official who said 80 women and children were among the wounded.<\/p>\n

Islamabad has denied the allegations as “outrageous”<\/em> and “blatant lies,”<\/em> claiming it was the Afghan Taliban that initiated the hostilities by attacking a Pakistani military post and other areas near the border. The Pakistani army said its forces had repelled the assault, killing 37 Taliban fighters in two separate operations.<\/p>\n

Reuters has reported, citing unnamed security officials, that the clash allegedly lasted around five hours.<\/p>\n

The confrontation follows a weekend flare-up in which Afghanistan and Pakistan traded casualty claims. The Taliban said it had killed 58 Pakistani soldiers, while Islamabad claimed to have captured 19 Afghan frontier posts.<\/p>\n
