NEW DELHI, MAY 10, 2025: The tense situation between India and Pakistan following the military strikes for the last four days has announced an immediate ceasefire on Saturday evening.
USA President Donald Trump said on Saturday that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” after a fourth day of strikes and counter-strikes against each other’s military installations. Pakistan’s foreign minister also said both countries had agreed to a ceasefire “with immediate effect,” and India’s foreign ministry said it would start at 5 p.m. Indian time
“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Confirming the same, External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar took to social media and posted on his official X account stating, “India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action.”
He reaffirmed India’s firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism, asserting that India will continue to do so.
This agreement comes in the wake of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, where 26 tourists were killed in an attack orchestrated by Pakistan-based terror groups, triggering nationwide outrage.
In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, a military offensive targeting terror launchpads and infrastructure across the Line of Control. The operation, which reportedly caused significant damage to militant camps, was widely viewed as a strong message against cross-border terrorism.
