India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following four days of deadly missile, drone, and air strikes that killed at least 60 and displaced thousands, especially in the disputed Kashmir region.

The surprise announcement came from US President Donald Trump via Truth Social, who credited “common sense” and praised both sides after American-led mediation overnight.

Officials from both nations confirmed the agreement, effective from 5pm local time, but explosions were later reported in Srinagar, raising doubts about its durability.

The conflict had erupted after a deadly terror attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militants—a charge Islamabad denied.

Despite initial relief and international praise for the truce, local residents remain wary, and mutual accusations over drone losses and military action continue.

  1. This is excellent news…
    Why?
    Well, since the Zionist PTB have lost the war between Russia and the Ukraine, (justified on Russia’s part in protecting the ethnic Russian Orthodox Christians in the Donbass Regions of the Ukraine…), the CIA and MI-6 needed to create a new war / conflict to keep the ‘Military-Industrial Complex’ alive for their ‘Stake-Holders’ & ‘Shareholders’.
    Everyone is aware of this, and the Indians and Pakistanis woke-up to this geo-politically-activated ploy.
    While the two nations have their definitive differences, at least they will NOT allow the Western Intelligence Agencies under the direct and indirect control of the Israeli Khazarian Zionist to further ruin their nations, like what has happened in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and soon Jordan and Turkey.
