Operation Sindoor: India, Pakistan Agree On Ceasefire Across All Fronts

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Saturday (10 May) said that Pakistan reached out to India, and the two countries negotiated and agreed to a ceasefire.

This comes after days of military escalation and heightened tensions between the neighbours.

"The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 15.30 hours (3.30 pm) this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would cease all firing and military action on land, in the air, and at sea with effect from 1700 hours (5 pm)," Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said.

This came shortly after US President Donald Trump claimed the ceasefire was achieved through US-mediated talks.

"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. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!," the US President posted on X.

Over the past three days, India successfully achieved its objective by dismantling terror hubs in Pakistan through Operation Sindoor, which resulted in the elimination of several high-profile terrorists affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), including Maulana Yusuf Azhar, who was wanted for the IC-814 hijacking.

The strikes targeted individuals involved in radical indoctrination, weapons training, and the coordination of terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.
