The US president has said “final peace negotiations” are currently under way between two rival countries despite renewed exchanges of fire marking the first major escalation since an April ceasefire agreement.

The comments came after both sides accused each other of launching attacks across contested border areas, raising fears that fragile diplomatic progress could collapse.

Military officials reported artillery fire and drone activity in several regions overnight, though casualty figures and damage assessments remain unclear.

The April ceasefire had significantly reduced violence following months of intense clashes and international diplomatic pressure aimed at preventing a wider regional conflict.

Speaking during a press briefing, the US president said negotiators were continuing discussions behind closed doors and insisted that diplomatic efforts had not broken down despite the latest hostilities.

International observers described the renewed fighting as a serious test for ongoing peace talks, particularly as tensions remain high between political and military leaders on both sides.

Diplomatic sources said mediators from several countries are attempting to preserve communication channels and prevent further escalation.

Security analysts noted that ceasefire violations are common during sensitive negotiation periods, especially when territorial disputes and mistrust remain unresolved.

The latest exchange of fire has renewed concern among neighbouring countries and global powers worried about instability spreading across the region.

Humanitarian organisations warned that civilians living near conflict zones remain vulnerable to displacement, infrastructure damage and disruption to essential services.

The United Nations has called for restraint and urged both governments to recommit publicly to ceasefire obligations and diplomatic dialogue.

Financial markets also reacted cautiously to the developments, with investors monitoring the potential impact on regional trade, energy supply routes and geopolitical stability.

Despite the renewed violence, officials involved in mediation efforts said negotiations were continuing and that opportunities for a long-term settlement still remain.

The coming days are expected to be critical in determining whether diplomacy can survive the latest escalation or whether the conflict risks entering a more dangerous phase.
