President Trump announced a full and immediate ceasefire between India and Pakistan following intense fighting. The conflict, the most serious in decades between the nuclear-armed nations, involved escalating missile attacks on military bases. The ceasefire agreement followed US-mediated talks, with Pakistan confirming the immediate effect. An Indian foreign ministry spokesman also confirmed the ceasefire, stating it applies across land, air, and sea. The US, along with other countries, actively pressured both nations to de-escalate and resume dialogue. Secretary of State Rubio played a significant role, engaging with high-level officials from both countries. Further talks between India and Pakistan are planned at a neutral location. Rubio praised both Prime Ministers for choosing peace. The situation is being closely monitored for continued de-escalation. The ceasefire announcement averted a potentially catastrophic escalation.
