India’s ministry of foreign affairs has confirmed that India and Pakistan has agreed to ceasefire on Saturday. Tensions between both the countries spiralled after the Pahalgam terror attack in India’s Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 that killed 26 people.
In a press briefing, Vikram Misri, foreign secretary of India said, “Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called Indian DGMO at 15:35 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time. Today, instructions have been given on both sides to give effect to this understanding. The Directors General of Military Operations will talk again on the 12th of May at 1200 hours.”
