Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the news shortly after, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote: “Pakistan and India have agreed to a cease-fire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!”

Tensions between India and Pakistan remain high days after Delhi launched airstrikes at its neighbor, sparking tit-for-tat military action from both sides and widespread confusion as competing claims and disinformation spread online.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate cease-fire" following weeks of cross-border conflict.
