India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday after four days of cross-border fighting. The deal, brokered by the United States, was announced by President Donald Trump in a social media post on Saturday. 

“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

The fighting between India and Pakistan began last week, following a militant attack that killed 26 tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir. India, blaming Pakistan for the assault, launched airstrikes on targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. In retaliation, Pakistan launched a series of drone and missile strikes on northern India.

Shortly after Trump’s announcement, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that India and Pakistan had not only agreed to a ceasefire but also committed to “begin talks on a wide range of issues at a neutral location.” 

Rubio added that the ceasefire was the result of two days of discussions he and Vice President JD Vance held with senior officials from both countries.

Meanwhile, just hours after the ceasefire announcement, explosions were heard in Indian-controlled areas of Jammu and Kashmir.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri accused Pakistan of repeatedly violating the ceasefire and crossing the border. In response, Pakistan insisted it remained committed to the ceasefire, with its forces demonstrating “responsibility and restraint.”
