US EditionIndia, Pakistan extend ceasefire understanding, to continue ‘confidence-building measures’
- India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed neighbors, agreed to extend their ceasefire until May 18, 2025, maintaining a halt to all military actions across land, air, and sea.
- This extension comes after severe clashes began in late April, triggered by an attack in Jammu and Kashmir that resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, leading to retaliatory strikes and increased tensions.
- India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, striking terror infrastructure with precision attacks that resulted in at least 31 deaths, while both sides have maintained military communications and commitments to dialogue.
- Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar announced that a ceasefire would be in effect until May 18 following recent discussions, while the Indian Army committed to maintaining efforts that promote mutual trust and help lower military readiness along the border.
- The ceasefire suggests a temporary pause in hostilities, but experts warn that long-term peace remains difficult due to entrenched disputes over Kashmir and calls for enhanced diplomatic engagement.
