"Pakistan offers this gesture in good faith and in keeping with the Islamic norms. However, he warned that in case of any cross-border attack, drone attack or any terrorist incident inside Pakistan, [operations] shall immediately resume with renewed intensity."
"The neighbouring countries have been experiencing their worst fighting in years after Afghanistan's Taliban authorities launched an operation in late February against the Pakistani military along the 2,640km (1,640-mile) Durand Line, which separates the two nations."
"The United Nations said on Wednesday that it had recorded 143 deaths in the incident at the Omar Addiction Treatment Hospital, a 2,000-bed facility. Pakistan has strongly rejected the claim that it is responsible for the attack, telling Al Jazeera Arabic this week that it only targets terrorist infrastructure and military locations."
Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to a temporary pause in hostilities during Eid al-Fitr, running from midnight Thursday to midnight Tuesday. Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated the pause was requested by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkiye, describing it as a gesture in good faith aligned with Islamic norms. Pakistan warned operations would immediately resume with renewed intensity if any cross-border attack, drone strike, or terrorist incident occurs. Afghanistan's Taliban government confirmed it would temporarily suspend military operations. This ceasefire follows weeks of deadly violence, including disputed claims about an airstrike on a Kabul drug rehabilitation center that killed 143 people according to UN records. The conflict escalated after Taliban authorities launched operations in late February against Pakistani military positions along the Durand Line.
