India and Pakistan are observing a fragile ceasefire after intense border clashes, with U.S. President Donald Trump offering support for a peaceful resolution to ongoing issues, including Kashmir.
India and Pakistan are maintaining a delicate ceasefire following several days of heightened tensions and border clashes, marking the most significant escalation in nearly three decades. The agreement, facilitated with support from the United States, has brought a temporary pause to hostilities after days of cross-border fire involving drones and missiles.
Reportedly, artillery fire in Indian Kashmir emerged shortly after the ceasefire was announced, leading to exchanges of statements between the two countries. Indian officials reported alleged ceasefire violations and affirmed their readiness to respond to any future incidents. Following the ceasefire, areas near the border, such as Amritsar, saw a return to normalcy, with power restored and residents resuming daily activities.
U.S. President Donald Trump commended both nations for agreeing to de-escalate and expressed intentions to strengthen trade ties with both countries. He also highlighted his willingness to assist in finding a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue.
Despite these efforts, the recent skirmishes resulted in significant casualties, with the combined death toll nearing 70. Officials from both nations reported calm overnight, with no further incidents in most regions.
