India and Pakistan agree ceasefire after days of cross-border strikes
Briefly

Pakistan's foreign minister stated the country would consider de-escalation if India ceases its attacks, with mediation from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Following a series of violent incidents, including Indian shelling resulting in casualties, both India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire. Indian officials affirm their commitment to non-escalation, contingent on Pakistani reciprocity. The geopolitical situation remains tense, particularly given a recent attack on tourists in Kashmir, attributed to a group allegedly supported by Pakistan, highlighting the long-standing conflict over the region.
On Saturday, a Pakistani official said at least 11 people were killed and 56 others wounded in what he said was Indian shelling in several areas near the Line of Control in Kashmir.
Indian Wing Commander Vyomika Singh told a news conference in New Delhi that her country was committed to 'non-escalation, provided the Pakistan side reciprocates.'
On his Truth Social platform, US President Donald Trump said he was pleased to announce that India and Pakistan had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.
A group called Kashmir Resistance, which India accuses Pakistan of backing, claimed the attack.
