Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire on Wednesday (October 15, 2025), the foreign ministry in Islamabad said, after dozens of troops and civilians were killed earlier in a fresh round of border skirmishes.
“The Pakistani government and the Afghan Taliban regime — at the Taliban’s request… have decided to implement a temporary ceasefire starting from 6 p.m. (01.00 GMT) today for the next 48 hours,” the ministry said.
There was no immediate response from Taliban authorities in Kabul.
