Pakistan, Afghanistan agree to 48-hour ceasefire after explosions heard in Kabul

Pakistan and Afghanistan have reached a 48-hour ceasefire agreement after a series of deadly border clashes that resulted in the loss of over a dozen civilian lives. This truce, requested by Kabul, is significant as it marks a moment of de-escalation in the ongoing tensions between the two nations, particularly following the recent violence that has escalated since the Taliban took control in 2021. The agreement offers a glimmer of hope for peace and stability in the region.
