It is worth noting that on March 18, Pakistan announced a temporary suspension of military operations against Afghanistan in connection with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. On the same day, Afghan authorities also confirmed a ceasefire that was established from midnight on March 19 and lasted until midnight on March 24.
According to AP, after the ceasefire ended, Pakistani military forces launched an artillery strike on the Afghan districts of Narai and Sunaro, firing several dozen shells. As a result of these attacks, two civilians were killed and eight were injured. In response to the shelling, Afghan soldiers opened fire, resulting in at least one death.
