India Pakistan Agree to 'Immediate Ceasefire'

India and Pakistan have agreed an immediate and full ceasefire to the conflict that has escalated for weeks in the disputed territory of Kashmir, following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam that killed 26 on 22 April.

The US president, Donald Trump, announced the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan after deadly attacks between the nuclear-armed rivals. The ceasefire came after a“a long night of talks mediated by the United States”, Trump said.

This development marks a significant de-escalation after days of hostilities, including India's counterterror operation "Operation Sindoor " and Pakistan's retaliatory strikes, which resulted in civilian casualties in Poonch.

While both governments expressed cautious optimism and a commitment to peace, they also reaffirmed their readiness to respond decisively to any future aggression.

The ceasefire has been welcomed internationally as a crucial step towards regional stability, with plans for further military dialogue scheduled for May 12 to sustain this fragile truce
