Following DGMO-level negotiations with Pakistan, India declares a ceasefire, stopping all military operations and firing.
At 3:35 p.m., the DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India. Both parties agreed to cease all air, sea, and land-based military operations, including fire, as of 5 p.m. (IST). Both parties were instructed to put this agreement into practice. Foreign Minister Vikram Misri stated that the DGMOs would reconvene at 12 p.m. on May 12.
Top government sources claim that after direct discussion between India and Pakistan, both countries agreed to stop firing and taking military action against each other. The contact was started earlier this afternoon by Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), and during the conversation, the parties came to an agreement to cease hostilities.
According to sources, no decision has been made to hold talks on any other topics or at any other location, and this agreement is purely limited to preventing military escalation.
The government sources also claimed that it would be incorrect to define “ceasefire” as the end of military activity. “Communication would be set up, and DGMOs would talk further,” they stated.
Misri’s remark followed US President Donald Trump’s proclamation of a ceasefire between the two nations in US-mediated negotiations.
“I am happy to inform you that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE following a lengthy night of negotiations facilitated by the United States. Kudos to both nations for applying great intelligence and common sense. I appreciate you taking the time to consider this.
On the intervening night of May 9 and 10, India thwarted Islamabad’s ongoing missile and drone attacks in unsuccessful attempts to target military installations and places of worship throughout Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan, escalating the armed conflict between India and Pakistan. In late-night attacks, the Indian Armed Forces struck a number of Pakistani air bases.
