A ceasefire between India and Pakistan was established on May 10, 2025, following escalating tensions sparked by the Pahalgam attack in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, 2025, in which 26 tourists were killed. The agreement came after skirmishes and cross-border firing, raising fears of a full-blown war between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The ceasefire was announced after diplomatic efforts, with some reports indicating mediation by the United States. U.S. President Donald Trump praised the leaders of both countries for agreeing to halt the aggression and offered to mediate a solution regarding Kashmir. Trump also stated his intention to increase trade with both nations substantially.
Despite the ceasefire agreement, reports of violations emerged shortly after its implementation. India accused Pakistan of violating the agreement, while Pakistan maintained its commitment to the ceasefire. The situation remains tense, with both sides closely monitoring the situation along the Line of Control (LoC).
The recent events have led to a complex situation, with diplomatic measures and the offer of mediation highlighting the ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and find a peaceful resolution to the long-standing Kashmir dispute.
