India and Pakistan agreed on Saturday to halt all military activities across land, air, and sea, marking a significant pause in rising tensions over recent weeks. The decision came after a direct call between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) earlier in the day.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, addressing a press briefing, said both sides had been instructed to enforce the ceasefire from 5 p.m. local time.
“The Director General of Military Operations will speak again on May 12 at noon to review the situation,” Misri said.
Officials confirmed that the call was initiated by Pakistan’s DGMO this afternoon, leading to discussions and a mutual understanding.
The announcement comes just days after India carried out Operation Sindoor, targeting terror infrastructure across the Line of Control.
