Fighting persists in a key area despite a ceasefire. A strategic hill has been targeted by daily shelling and airstrikes. A militant group has attacked forces in the area using drones.

The US is involved in talks between two countries, seeking the disarmament of the militant group. Part of this plan involves the group handing over a strategic location to the national army, but this has been refused.

A framework agreement was reached, outlining the withdrawal of one country from another as the militant group is disarmed. Further details are available from the source.
