Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire following days of cross-border fighting.
Fresh fighting broke out along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border early on Wednesday, with each side accusing the other of initiating deadly clashes.
Pakistan’s military said its forces had killed "15-20 Afghan Taliban" and injured many in Spin Boldak border district.
A Taliban government spokesman said 12 Afghan civilians had been killed and more than 100 wounded by Pakistani firing. Numerous Pakistani soldiers had been killed, he added. None of the deaths could be independently confirmed.
