Overview

  • India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire effective 5 pm IST on May 10, halting military actions after four days of escalating hostilities.
  • India accused Pakistan of multiple ceasefire violations within hours, including cross-border shelling and drone activity, which Pakistan denied, blaming India instead.
  • The ceasefire followed US mediation efforts, with economic pressure on Pakistan linked to IMF loan conditions reportedly influencing its decision to de-escalate.
  • India has maintained its suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and other sanctions imposed after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which killed 26 people.
  • Civilians on both sides remain anxious as explosions, blackouts, and reports of military activity continue, raising doubts about the ceasefire's durability.
