India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on 10 May 2025 after four days of military conflict. The ceasefire was announced following talks, with the United States playing a role in mediation. Both countries have started discussions on broader issues, but tensions remain high. The conflict began after a terror attack in Kashmir on 22 April that killed 26 civilians. Despite the ceasefire, some border skirmishes and restrictions like visa suspensions and trade bans continue. The United Nations welcomed the ceasefire and offered support for peace efforts. India and Pakistan have different views on the talks’ focus, with India emphasizing terrorism and Pakistan wanting to discuss water treaties and Kashmir’s status. The situation remains fragile, and both sides have yet to resolve their long-standing disputes. (Updated 2 Oct 2025, 02:18 IST; source: link)
