India Pakistan Agree Immediate Ceasefire After Weeks of Fighting

India and Pakistan have agreed to a comprehensive and immediate ceasefire, ending weeks of intensified cross-border conflict sparked by a terrorist attack in Kashmir. The ceasefire covers land, air, and sea operations, and was initiated bilaterally with communication between the Directors General of Military Operations from both countries. This diplomatic breakthrough followed intense US-mediated talks involving senior officials, including US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, and top leaders from both India and Pakistan. Trump praised both nations for their wisdom and common sense in choosing peace, while Rubio highlighted the commencement of talks on broader issues at a neutral venue. Despite international mediation claims, Indian sources emphasized the ceasefire was a direct bilateral decision initiated by Pakistan’s military. The agreement brings relief amid fears of escalating conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors over the disputed Kashmir region.
