A Ceasefire to the Fighting
On May 10 at 5 PM, India and Pakistan said they would stop fighting. They made a deal for peace on the Line of Control (LoC). This came after one week of heavy fighting, drone attacks, and high tension. The fighting started after India’s Operation Sindoor, which was a reply to a terror attack in Pahalgam.
But the peace did not last long. Just three hours later, at 8 PM, Pakistan broke the ceasefire. Loud blasts were heard in Srinagar. The Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, shared this news. India quickly fought back and stopped the attacks.
Later that night, India said if there is more terrorism, it will treat it like war. After that, both countries agreed again to stop fighting. Many people are still worried, but right now, the new ceasefire is working.
The Reason Behind This Conflict
The problem began on April 22. There was a terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Twenty-six people died. The attackers were from terrorist groups in Pakistan. People in India were very angry.
India replied by cutting some ties with Pakistan. It also stopped the Indus Water Treaty. On May 7, India started Operation Sindoor. Indian soldiers destroyed nine terror camps in Pakistan and in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
About 70 terrorists died, including some top leaders. India said no soldiers were hurt from the Indian Defence Forces. The mission was fast and successful. But after that, the fighting between India and Pakistan got worse.
What Comes Next
This ceasefire only stops the fighting at the borders. India said it will still use other ways, like economic pressure, to make Pakistan act against terrorism.
A very important meeting will happen at 12 PM on Monday, May 12. Army leaders from both countries (called DGMOs) will talk. This meeting may help keep peace or bring more trouble if it fails.
India's Next Steps For Safety
India is being calm but strong. It carried out Operation Sindoor, protected its borders, and spoke with other countries. When the fighting started again, India gave a strong answer. This helped to stop more fighting.
This peace agreement is not forever. It is only a short break. India is ready and says: “No terrorism. No peace without justice.”
