Amid escalating conflict and accusations of continued strikes, India and Pakistan have agreed to a cease-fire after U.S.-led talks.
President Donald Trump made the initial announcement over his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday morning. “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,” he said. “Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the news shortly after, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote: “Pakistan and India have agreed to a cease-fire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!”
News of the cease-fire comes after India and Pakistan continued to accuse each other of strikes overnight into Saturday morning.
This is a developing story.
