In his statement on X, Jaishankar said, “India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action. India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.”

The tensions between India and Pakistan escalated aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 civilians dead on April 22. Two weeks later to avenge the attack, India launched “Operation Sindoor”, which the government said targeted 9 terror spots inside Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
