Pakistan and Afghanistan have reached an agreement for a 48-hour ceasefire, as announced by Islamabad’s foreign ministry on Wednesday, October 15, 2025. This critical pause follows a recent escalation of border skirmishes that tragically resulted in the deaths of dozens of troops and civilians.
The Pakistani government stated that the temporary ceasefire was initiated at the request of the Afghan Taliban regime and is scheduled to begin today at 6 p.m. local time (01:00 GMT). It will remain in effect for the next 48 hours.
As of the announcement, there has been no immediate public comment or response from the Taliban authorities in Kabul regarding this temporary truce.
