Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared on Monday that India has only "paused" military action against Pakistan, vowing retaliation on India’s terms if provoked again. This comes after a US-brokered ceasefire, announced by President Trump, halted a week of escalating hostilities, including missile and drone attacks. Modi emphasized that India remains vigilant and rejected any narrative crediting foreign mediation, insisting it was Pakistan that sought a ceasefire. He warned against “nuclear blackmail” and affirmed future talks, if any, would focus on terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. India has since reopened 32 northern airports and begun defusing unexploded ordnance near the border.
