India and Pakistan Agree to Full and Immediate Ceasefir

India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, following escalating tensions and military exchanges across the Line of Control (LoC) in recent weeks.

The ceasefire, which began at 17:00 local time, was confirmed by India’s Foreign Secretary, who noted that both sides had reached the agreement to halt hostilities after a series of retaliatory attacks.

Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister said the country “has always strived for peace and security in the region,” underscoring Islamabad’s commitment to de-escalation.

U.S. President Donald Trump, in a statement, credited the truce to “a long night of talks mediated by the United States,” though specific details of the diplomatic efforts were not disclosed.

The recent flare-up began after a deadly militant attack last month targeted Indian tourists in Pahalgam, a resort town in Jammu and Kashmir. In response, India launched strikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir earlier this week.

Since then, both countries have accused each other of cross-border shelling, drone operations, and missile strikes, raising concerns of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

International observers have welcomed the ceasefire, urging both nations to pursue dialogue and long-term peace-building measures.
