The coming days are expected to reveal the fate of the truce and Pakistan's subsequent strategic response to its security challenges.
As a fragile ceasefire between the Taliban and the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Afghanistan reportedly nears its end, Pakistan has reiterated its firm resolve to "eradicate terrorism" from its soil.
CBI News reports that the declaration comes amid rising concerns in Islamabad over potential cross-border attacks if the truce collapses, and the presence of militant groups operating from Afghan territory.
Senior Pakistani officials have stressed that there will be "zero tolerance" for any organization threatening the country's peace and stability, signaling a potential intensification of counter-terrorism operations.
The Afghan Taliban government, which brokered the initial ceasefire, has been urged by Pakistan to ensure its territory is not used for attacks against its neighbor.
