India and Pakistan Reach Ceasefire Agreement Amid Escalating Tensions

In a significant development, India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire after a series of military confrontations.


The ceasefire announcement comes following a four-day period of heightened conflict, during which both countries engaged in intense cross-border strikes.

The announcement was made through social media channels by US President Donald Trump, who noted that the ceasefire was facilitated by US intervention. Despite the declaration, reports from prominent Indian-administered cities such as Srinagar and Jammu indicated continued explosive sounds, although neither nation has made an official comment on these incidents. The recent uptick in hostilities was prompted by accusations from India against Pakistan regarding the killing of Indian tourists in Kashmir, to which Pakistan has denied any connection. Since the 1947 partition, Kashmir has remained a contentious territory, claimed in full by both nations yet controlled partially by each.

India's external affairs minister S Jaishankar confirmed the ceasefire, emphasizing that India maintains a strong stance against terrorism, while Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar highlighted the country's pursuit of peace. The international community, including China and G7 nations, urged both sides to de-escalate. Following the ceasefire, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced plans for bilateral talks on a range of issues, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed de-escalation efforts. Prior to the ceasefire, tensions escalated due to a deadly attack that claimed the lives of 26 tourists in Kashmir, with civilian casualties reported on both sides amid retaliatory military actions.
