A ceasefire agreement was announced between rival factions in the region, with mediators from an international coalition confirming details. The deal outlines a phased withdrawal of combatants, temporary humanitarian corridors, and a monitoring mechanism to ensure compliance.

Authorities reported that security forces have begun operations to secure key infrastructure and protect civilians as the truce takes effect. Local officials urged residents to remain vigilant and avoid areas with reported gunfire while aid agencies prepare to scale up relief efforts.

Analysts warned that while the agreement reduces immediate violence, underlying political tensions remain, and continued negotiations will be required to address core grievances. International partners called for continued support and transparent reporting on progress and violations.
