The first word of the truce came from U.S. President Donald Trump, who posted on his Truth Social platform that he was pleased to announce that India and Pakistan had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. “Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

India and Pakistan have confirmed a ceasefire deal after U.S.-led talks to end a conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals.

India and Pakistan both said they will not escalate hostilities if the other reciprocates after they fired volleys of missiles across their borders. It was the most serious increase in hostilities so far in a conflict triggered by a gun massacre last month that India blames Pakistan for.
