Trump Claims India, Pakistan Agree to Immediate Ceasefire; No Official Confirmation

US President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following talks mediated by the United States, marking a potential end to recent escalations in the Kashmir region. The announcement was supported by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who confirmed the ceasefire agreement after extensive diplomatic engagement with senior officials from both countries, including Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif. Rubio praised the leaders for their restraint and commitment to peace, noting plans to start talks on broader issues at a neutral site. The ceasefire follows heightened tensions involving drone attacks and counterterror operations, including India's 'Operation Sindoor' targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Despite the announcement, official confirmations from India and Pakistan were awaited, with India’s Ministry of External Affairs expected to address the situation publicly. This development reflects a significant diplomatic effort by the US to de-escalate long-standing conflict between the neighboring countries.
