Overview

  • The ceasefire, mediated by US President Donald Trump, was announced on May 10 to end weeks of escalating violence in Kashmir.
  • Within hours of the ceasefire taking effect, India accused Pakistan of violations, resulting in six deaths, including military personnel, and around 20 injuries.
  • Pakistani shelling reportedly targeted multiple Indian border regions, killing four civilians and injuring 15 others, according to Indian authorities.
  • The conflict was triggered by an April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 tourists, which India attributed to Pakistan-backed groups.
  • Both nations remain on high alert, with international concerns mounting over the potential for nuclear escalation in the volatile region.
