Pakistan has reportedly contacted India twice, requesting a cessation of hostilities following Operation Sindoor, which resulted in 160 casualties on the Pakistani side. The operation was launched by India in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, targeting strategic locations across Pakistan-administered regions. The Indian government emphasized that the strikes were precise and non-escalatory, aiming to reset deterrence dynamics. The cessation of fire was proposed by Pakistan through the United States, acting as an intermediary. Indian leadership views the current halt not as a retreat but as a strategic pause, contingent on Pakistan's future conduct and continued diplomatic engagements. The situation remains tense, with both nations monitoring developments closely. (PC: Mint & India Today)
