Ceasefire between India and Pakistan in effect: Live Updates | |
(30 minutes later) | |
Both nuclear-armed states confirmed their willing to stop hostilities after days of escalation | |
India and Pakistan have agreed to cease hostilities, officials from both sides have confirmed. US President Donald Trump earlier said that a deal between the two countries had been reached following a “long night of talks” mediated by Washington. | |
India’s Foreign Ministry has announced that the ceasefire started at 5 p.m. local time. | |
On Friday, Pakistan launched a large-scale military operation against India called Bunyan Al Marsoos (Unbreakable Wall), in what it said was retaliation for Indian strikes on its territory and the Pakistani-controlled part of Kashmir. | |
Islamabad described the campaign as a “befitting” response to Indian “aggression.” Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan had no choice but to retaliate after India launched Operation Sindoor earlier this week, targeting what it called “terrorist infrastructure” in Pakistan. | |
New Delhi said its operation was launched in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in India’s Jammu and Kashmir federal territory in late April that killed 26 tourists. The Resistance Front, believed to be linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. While Islamabad denied any involvement, Indian investigators claimed to have identified the attackers’ planners and communication hubs connected to Pakistan. | New Delhi said its operation was launched in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in India’s Jammu and Kashmir federal territory in late April that killed 26 tourists.
