1:33Now PlayingPakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to a 48-hour temporary ceasefire following days of deadly clashes. Tensions flared last week after an airstrike in Kabul, which the Taliban blamed on Pakistan. Ground fighting has since been reported at several military posts along both sides of the long contested border. Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of harboring armed groups in the region, which the Taliban-led government denies. Dozens have been killed, key border crossings remain closed, and civilians say the violence is taking its toll. Pakistani officials said Wednesday that Afghanistan had requested the temporary truce, but Taliban officials said the ceasefire was at the "insistence" of the Pakistani side.
