A ceasefire agreement between Islamabad and Kabul rests on the ruling Afghan Taliban's ability to rein in militants attacking Pakistan across their shared border, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Reuters on Monday,

The interim administration in Kabul on Saturday claimed that Pakistan carried out late-night airstrikes in Afghanistan’s border province of Paktika, as officials from the two sides were set to hold talks in the Qatari capital Doha.

Afghanistan and Pakistan said they had agreed a 48-hour ceasefire on Wednesday, following days of deadly clashes between the neighbors and former allies.

Following the Afghanistan-Pakistan peace talks in Doha, the Taliban's Defence Minister, Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, accused Pakistan of creating a false narrative about the Durand Line-- the international boundary line between both nations.
