On May 10, 2025, US President Donald Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate ceasefire," praising both nations for their "common sense and great intelligence."

The announcement followed intense US-mediated talks amid escalating military tensions sparked by a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, 2025, which killed 26 people. The attack led to a series of retaliatory missile strikes, airspace closures, and diplomatic breakdowns, including India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan’s rejection of the 1972 Simla Agreement.

However, neither India nor Pakistan has officially confirmed the ceasefire, raising questions about its status. Pakistan’s defense minister called it "premature" to comment on de-escalation, and posts on X reflect conflicting sentiments, with some claiming Pakistan rejected earlier ceasefire proposals while others suggest both sides are open to talks.

The Group of Seven urged restraint and dialogue, while Saudi Arabia offered mediation.

The 2021 ceasefire along the Line of Control had reduced violence until recent violations, with over 5,000 ceasefire breaches reported in 2020 alone.

The current situation remains volatile, with 13 civilian deaths in Pakistani Kashmir reported in the last 12 hours before Trump’s announcement. Without official confirmation from New Delhi or Islamabad, the ceasefire’s durability is uncertain, and the world watches closely for signs of lasting peace or renewed conflict.
