Pakistan and Afghanistan have reiterated their commitment to jointly combat terrorism along their shared border, signaling a renewed push to stabilize a region long affected by militancy.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban government said Thursday that Pakistan had carried out two drone strikes on Kabul the previous day, just before the two neighbors announced a ceasefire following days of fighting that killed dozens in both countries and injured hundreds more.

Following the recent ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has now issued a statement. He warned that the ceasefire is contingent on Afghanistan's control over the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Dozens of fighters were killed in overnight border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, both sides said on Sunday, in the most serious fighting between the neighbours since the Taliban came to power in Kabul.

Afghanistan's Taliban government accused Pakistan on Friday of carrying out airstrikes on its territory and warned of "consequences" as Islamabad said it was taking action against militants. Eleven more Pakistani soldiers were killed on Friday in a clash with Islamist militants in the Tirah area close to the Afghan border,

Pakistans primary concerns centered on the India-Afghanistan joint statement’s reference to Jammu and Kashmir as part of India, and Afghanistan’s commitment not to allow its territory to be used against India.
