News Topical, Digital Desk : The war between Pakistan and Afghanistan has resumed, dimming hopes for a permanent ceasefire.
"I think the pause ended between midnight of March 23 and 24," Tahir Andrabi, spokesman for Pakistan's Foreign Ministry in Islamabad, said.
The campaign against the Afghan Taliban will continue until the threat of terrorism is eliminated. Islamabad accuses the Afghan Taliban of harboring terrorists, while Kabul says this is Pakistan's domestic problem.
Meanwhile, Afghan officials reported that two civilians were killed and others wounded in eastern Afghanistan, according to the Associated Press. Following mediation by Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Qatar, the two sides had declared a temporary ceasefire ahead of Eid al-Fitr.
The Torkham border crossing in northwestern Pakistan was temporarily opened on Thursday to allow hundreds of Afghan refugees, who are home to more than two million Afghan refugees, to return home, officials said.
Islamabad wants all Afghan citizens, except those with valid visas, to leave the country. Meanwhile, Afghan Health Ministry spokesman Sharafat Zaman said on Thursday that the death toll from the attack on the drug de-addiction hospital has now risen to 411.
263 people were injured. Many are still missing. On March 16, Pakistanis attacked a drug rehabilitation hospital. The 60 people killed in that attack were buried in a Kabul cemetery on Thursday.
Bulldozers were used to dig large pits to create individual graves for 60 coffins for mass burials. More than 50 bodies were buried on March 18.
