Pakistan and Afghanistan Extend Truce for One Week

Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of harbouring the Pakistan Taliban, a charge Kabul denies.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to extend a ceasefire amid ongoing tensions and border conflicts, with further negotiations set for November 6 in Istanbul. The agreement includes a monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance, following a week of serious fighting that resulted in numerous casualties on both sides. Despite the ceasefire, the border remains closed, impacting trade significantly. Afghan officials continue to deny allegations of supporting the Pakistan Taliban, complicating discussions.
