India, Pakistan Agree to Cease All Military Action from 5 PM Today
May 10, 2025: In a major diplomatic breakthrough following days of military escalation, India and Pakistan have agreed to a complete ceasefire starting 5 PM IST today, covering all military operations on land, air, and sea.
The announcement was made by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, shortly after former US President Donald Trump declared that his team had mediated an “immediate and full ceasefire” after a prolonged round of overnight negotiations.

The decision was finalised during a direct conversation between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan. The call, initiated by Pakistan earlier in the afternoon, led to a mutual understanding.
“There is no plan to hold talks on any other issues beyond this ceasefire understanding at this stage,” Misri clarified.
