ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Ambassador Tahir Andrabi, has stated that no temporary ceasefire is currently in place with Afghan Taliban.

Ambassador Andrabi, on Saturday, clarified that there had only been a time-bound pause lasting three days during Eid.

He said, "There is no temporary ceasefire in place. There was only a time barred three days pause at Eid. Which was over at that time."

Meanwhile, earlier, on Saturday, Pakistan rejected what it called “one-sided” remarks by a British official regarding developments along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, urging a more balanced and informed understanding of the situation.

In a statement, Foreign Office spokesperson said comments by the British Special Representative for Afghanistan did not reflect ground realities and lacked a deeper appreciation of the challenges faced along the border.

The spokesperson said cross-border aggression and terrorist infiltration attempts from the Afghan side have continued despite Pakistan’s “goodwill gesture” of a temporary pause announced in March 2026.

He added that since then, attacks by the Afghan Taliban and activities by their “supported proxies” inside Pakistan have resulted in the deaths of 52 civilians and injuries to 84 others.
