“India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action,” Jaishankar announced via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
The announcement follows weeks of heightened military activity and tensions along the Line of Control (LoC), triggered by a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 26 tourists.

The ceasefire is expected to reduce immediate tension along the Indo-Pak border and may pave the way for more stable diplomatic engagement. However, Jaishankar emphasized that India’s position on terrorism remains uncompromising.
“India will not lower its guard against terrorism and will continue to respond decisively,” he added.
This recent agreement is being hailed as a strategic pause, not a permanent resolution. Analysts view it as an opportunity for both nations to de-escalate, particularly after months of increasing hostility.
