India and Pakistan agree ceasefire after days of cross-border strike

India is adhering to the agreement, but its army remains "vigilant" and "prepared to launch what is necessary for the defence of our nation", officials say

Pakistan's deputy PM says it has "always strived for peace and security in the region"

The ceasefire is the result of "a long night of talks mediated by the United States", Donald Trump says

This week, India struck targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response to a deadly militant attack on Indian tourists in Pahalgam last month - Islamabad denies involvement

Both sides accused each other of cross-border shelling and missile and drone attacks since India launched its military operation - India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in full
