Overview

• India and Pakistan agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on May 10 following four days of intense cross-border missile, drone, and air strikes.
• Over 60 people, including civilians, were killed during the escalation, triggered by an April 22 terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir blamed on Lashkar-e-Taiba.
• The ceasefire remains tenuous, with reports of explosions and accusations of violations in Kashmir shortly after the agreement was announced.
• Both nations maintain high military alert, with India accusing Pakistan of troop movements and Islamabad claiming to intercept Indian drones.
• The international community, including the G7 and China, has urged restraint as diplomatic channels reopen for broader negotiations.
