Skirmishes between Taliban fighters and security forces renewed in Afghanistan as a three-day ceasefire expired, but the government said the incidents were minor and the truce could still hold
The Taliban have remained silent on government appeals for an extension of the ceasefire, which was announced for the Eid al-Fitr holiday that ends the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan.
The United States has reached an agreement with the Taliban to withdraw U.S. forces after more than 18 years in Afghanistan, leaving the Afghan government to negotiate a peace deal with the Islamist insurgents to end the war.
