In a major diplomatic breakthrough, India and Pakistan have declared a full and immediate ceasefire following days of cross-border hostilities triggered by a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. The announcement, which comes after high-level military communication and international mediation, including remarks from former U.S. President Donald Trump, has brought temporary relief to a region on the brink of war.

India’s abrupt move to stop Chenab River water flow to Pakistan, citing retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, marks a serious escalation in bilateral tensions. By invoking control over the Indus Waters Treaty, India has sparked fears of a regional water crisis and intensified diplomatic standoffs, with Pakistan calling the action an “act of war.” As international pressure mounts, both nuclear neighbors stand at a precarious crossroads.
