Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the news shortly after, via a post on X (formerly Twitter). He wrote: “Pakistan and India have agreed to a cease-fire with immediate effect. Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity!”

The governments of India and Pakistan have reached a ceasefire deal after days of fighting, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced early Saturday.
