After a week of deadly cross-border strikes and rising fears of war, India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire — brokered by Washington. The agreement follows one of the most dangerous escalations in years between the two nuclear powers.
After days of cross-border violence, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. The announcement was made just hours ago by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said the agreement followed a long night of high-level negotiations mediated by Washington.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, President Trump wrote that India and Pakistan had “agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.”
The news was quickly confirmed by Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister, Ishaq Dar, who noted that Islamabad remains committed to peace while defending its sovereignty.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that both nations have also agreed to launch formal talks on a broader set of issues.
He praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for what he called wisdom and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace. Rubio also revealed that he and fellow official JD Vance had spent the past 48 hours in closed-door meetings with senior officials from both countries.
The ceasefire follows one of the most dangerous escalations in years between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Over the past week, missile strikes, drone incursions, and artillery fire have killed at least 48 people and injured dozens more — the majority of them on the Pakistani side of the border.
Within the last two days, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, targeting Indian military sites. This was in retaliation for India’s Operation Sindoor, carried out on May 6, which Islamabad says killed 33 civilians inside Pakistani territory.
