India, Pakistan agree to ceasefire following intense escalation


Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi

New Delhi, May 10: India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on land, sea and air, bringing a halt to the most severe military confrontation between the two nations in decades. The ceasefire, effective from 5:00 PM IST on May 10, was confirmed by Indian foreign secretary Vikram Misri during a press briefing in New Delhi. He stated that the agreement was reached following a direct conversation between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries earlier on Saturday, May 10 afternoon.

The ceasefire follows days of escalating hostilities, including missile and drone strikes, which resulted in significant casualties and damage on both sides. The conflict intensified after a deadly attack on Hindu pilgrims in Pahalgam, which India attributed to Pakistan-based militants. In response, India launched "Operation Sindoor," targeting militant infrastructure across the border.

International mediation played a crucial role in de-escalating the situation. US president Donald Trump announced the ceasefire agreement on social media, crediting a "long night of talks" facilitated by the United States, with support from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Both nations have agreed to cease all military operations by land, air, and sea.

While the ceasefire marks a significant step towards peace, analysts caution that the situation remains fragile. Further discussions between Indian and Pakistani military officials are scheduled for May 12 to ensure the ceasefire holds and to address underlying tensions.

The international community has welcomed the ceasefire, urging both nations to engage in sustained dialogue to resolve longstanding disputes and prevent future escalations.

    Thank God for the Ceasefire! Before ceasefire could effectively followed, Pakistan breached the condition and took advantage of hitting Indian targets. Now can we blame God for such irregularities and treacherous game by our enemy country? Modiji be tough and analytical Enemies are game players. Trust doesn't apply in war. (AI is the need of the hour)

    War has benefited Israel. India lost a good opportunity of eliminating the remaining terrorists. Unfortunately there are countries in the world that do not understand the meaning of peace.
