A fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan held on Sunday after four days of intense conflict, which marked the worst fighting in nearly three decades between the nuclear-armed neighbors. The violence, which included missile and drone attacks on military installations, left nearly 70 people dead in both countries. The ceasefire was brokered following diplomatic efforts and pressure from the United States, although brief artillery exchanges continued shortly afterward in Indian-controlled Kashmir. U.S. President Donald Trump praised both nations for halting hostilities and offered help in resolving the long-standing Kashmir dispute. Trump also mentioned intentions to boost trade with both countries. Kashmir, a contested region claimed in full by both India and Pakistan but ruled in parts, remains a flashpoint. Recent clashes were sparked by a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian Kashmir, which India attributed to Pakistan; Islamabad denied the claims. In the aftermath, residents along border areas faced evacuations and blackouts. Although relative calm has returned, sporadic military operations and safety warnings persist, especially around damaged infrastructure such as the Uri power plant. Civilians on both sides hope for lasting peace and are beginning to cautiously return home. (PC: Reuters)
