President Trump announces tentative ceasefire between India and Pakistan, but tensions remain high
Trump declares truce between India and Pakistan
In a tweet on his platform Truth Social, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that India and Pakistan have agreed on a full and immediate ceasefire following "lengthy negotiation night." The bold statement, however, has not been confirmed by either the Indian or Pakistani government.
Tensions in the Kashmir region have been escalating for days, with India launching airstrikes on multiple targets within Pakistan's territory. In retaliation, Pakistan retaliated with artillery fire, leading to the loss of around 60 innocent lives. This marks the most violent confrontation between these neighboring countries since their last war over Kashmir more than 50 years ago.
The foreign ministers of the G7 countries urged both parties to de-escalate, citing concerns over the potential threat to regional stability. They emphasized the importance of direct dialogue and a peaceful resolution between the two nations.
The situation along the India-Pakistan border has remained volatile, with reports of drone attacks and military engagements. Despite this, Pakistan has reiterated its desire for peace without compromising its security.
