After three days of intense military hostilities, India and Pakistan have reached an “understanding” about stopping “military action” and “firing” External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar announced on Saturday (May 10, 2025).

Official sources asserted that the decision to stop military actions was bilaterally agreed between India and Pakistan and that the initiation of this “understanding” would not affect several recent punitive decisions that India has taken targeting Pakistan after the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22.
