Trump: India and Pakistan have agreed to a complete and immediate ceasefire

US President Donald Trump announced that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "complete and immediate ceasefire" after a "long night of talks" brokered by the US.

In a post on the Truth Social network, Trump praised both countries for using "common sense and great intelligence."

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar immediately confirmed Trump's announcement of a ceasefire, in a conflict that arose after an attack in Indian Kashmir two weeks ago in which 26 Hindu tourists were killed.

"Pakistan and India have agreed to a ceasefire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always sought peace and security in the region, without compromising its sovereignty and territorial integrity," Dar stated.

Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri also confirmed that the Director General of Military Operations for Pakistan called his Indian counterpart on the afternoon of May 10 and that the two sides agreed that both sides would cease all firing on land, in the air and at sea.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confirmed the ceasefire between India and Pakistan on X Network, stating that he had spoken with senior Indian and Pakistani officials in the past 48 hours, and that the talks included US Vice President J.D. Vance, the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan, Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif.

"I am pleased to announce that the governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and the start of talks on a wide range of issues at a neutral venue," he wrote.

"We commend Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif for their wisdom, prudence and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace," said Rubio, who has held regular talks with Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif and Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar since late April.

Trump said earlier this week that the rising tensions were a disgrace and that he wanted them to stop, while US Vice President J.D. Vance said that a war between the two countries "would not be our thing."

The ceasefire agreement came after the two nuclear-armed neighboring states continued to exchange attacks from the morning hours of May 10, killing around 7 civilians since May 50.

Pakistan launched strikes on India on May 10 after India fired missiles at Pakistani air bases. Pakistani security sources told Radio Mashal, a program of Radio Free Europe (RFE), that the operation was codenamed "Bunyanun Marsos," an Arabic word taken from a verse in the Quran that means solid pillar.

The Indian military said Pakistan had carried out drone strikes on several points along its western border. At the same time, two explosions were heard in the morning in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where the headquarters of the General Staff and intelligence agencies are located.

Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said a warehouse used to store Indian Brahmos missiles had been destroyed. The military said there were also strikes on several other locations, including Pathankot airport and Udhampur air force base. Pakistan also said it had fired Fatah 1 missiles at two Indian air bases.

The Indian military called Pakistan's actions unacceptable.

"Pakistan's apparent escalation of drone and other munitions attacks continues along our western borders. In one such incident, at around 5 am today, multiple enemy armed drones were spotted flying over Kasa Kanta, Amritsar," the army said on its IX network.

The new attacks began hours after Saudi Arabia's foreign minister left Pakistan. Adel Al-Jubeir was in Islamabad to meet Sharif, the statement said. He visited India before landing in Islamabad on May 9 for talks with Pakistani leaders.

Pakistan earlier said that missiles, apparently fired by India, landed at various locations in Pakistan. One of the missiles hit the Noor Khan air base in the city of Rawalpindi. The air base is home to the military headquarters and is less than 30 kilometers from key buildings, including the presidential palace, parliament and the prime minister's house, in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.

Fahim Ahmad, a resident of Rawalpindi city, who lives near the Noor Khan airbase, told Radio Mashal that he saw an object being dropped from the air and that it had fallen near the airbase. He said sirens were sounded, raising fears of a major escalation just days after Indian airstrikes claimed several lives in Pakistan, prompting Sharif to vow retaliation.

Speaking at a hastily organised press conference shortly after the missiles were fired at Pakistan late on May 9, ISPR Director General Lt Gen Ahmad Sharif said India's attack targeting the Nor Khan airbase had been thwarted.

"Two other missiles were fired at two other air bases, Murid and Shorkot," he said. Sharif claimed that India had also fired some missiles into Afghanistan.

The explosion was reported in the city of Peshawar in the early morning hours of May 10, Radio Mashal correspondent Wasim Sadjad reported.

"We were woken up by the sound of an explosion at around 3am (local time), followed by gunfire from the ground," said Sadjad. "We saw lights going from the ground to the sky with the sounds of gunfire that lasted for almost an hour."

Tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals have risen since an attack on a popular tourist site in Indian-controlled Kashmir on April 22 that killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindu Indian tourists. New Delhi has blamed Pakistan for supporting the attack, a charge Islamabad denies.

On May 9, the Group of Seven called for maximum restraint from both India and Pakistan and invited them to direct dialogue.

The foreign ministers of Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the European Union said they "strongly condemn" the deadly attack on tourists in Indian Kashmir on April 22 and "call for maximum restraint from both India and Pakistan."

"We call for urgent de-escalation and encourage both countries to engage in direct dialogue towards a peaceful outcome," the G7 statement said.

China has also appealed to India and Pakistan, two neighboring nuclear powers, to avoid escalation.

Indian forces struck targets across Pakistani Kashmir and Pakistan's Punjab province on May 6, in what India called "precision strikes" against "terrorists," following an attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 Hindu tourists.

India had previously said that two of the three suspects in the attack were Pakistani nationals, but had not provided any detailed evidence. Pakistan has denied any involvement in the killings.

India and Pakistan, which gained independence from Britain in 1947, have fought three full-scale wars in 1948, 1965, and 1971, and a limited conflict in 1999. The central issue remains the Kashmir Valley, which India considers its Atot Ang (integral part), while Pakistan sees it as an "unfinished agenda for the partition" of the Indian subcontinent.

Kashmir is divided between three neighboring nuclear-armed countries, with India controlling about 45 percent, Pakistan about 35 percent, and China - after a brief war with India in 1962 - occupying the remaining 20 percent.
