India and Pakistan have agreed to end their ongoing conflict, confirmed by top officials from both nations, according to a BBC report.
Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Mishri stated that the Director General of Military Operations from both countries held a phone conversation in the afternoon. They mutually agreed to halt all forms of attacks. The ceasefire took effect at 5 PM Indian time, covering land, air, and sea operations.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also confirmed the immediate implementation of the ceasefire. He emphasized that Pakistan supports regional peace and security but will not compromise on its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was the first to announce the ceasefire on his social media platform, Truth Social. He wrote that both nations agreed to a full ceasefire following overnight negotiations mediated by the United States.
India blamed Pakistan for a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir last month, which led to India’s military operation “Operation Sindhur” launched on May 8.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on both countries to resolve the crisis through dialogue, while Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. does not want to be involved in the conflict but supports peaceful discussions.
