The Pakistani Taliban has announced a month-long ceasefire aimed at reviving stalled peace talks with government.
Spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said all Taliban fighters had been urged to "refrain from any activity during this period", BBC reported.
The talks broke down last month, after Taliban-linked militants said they had killed 23 soldiers they were holding.
This triggered air strikes by the Pakistani military against suspected militant hideouts in the north-west.
