Jaishankar, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The ceasefire came after missile strikes, drone incursions, and retaliatory operations across the border.<br \/>\nTensions flared after a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), that left 26 civilians dead. India blamed Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence; Islamabad rejected the claim.<br \/>\nIndia responded by closing the Wagah border, revoking Pakistani visas, and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty\u2014moves Pakistan labelled as an \u201cact of war.\u201d<br \/>\nBy May 6\u20137, Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, claiming to have downed five Indian jets, including Rafales, and intercepted 77 Israeli-origin Harop drones.<br \/>\nThe US played a central role in facilitating backchannel diplomacy. Secretary Rubio and Vice President JD Vance held talks with senior leaders from both countries, including PMs Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi, as well as top defence and intelligence officials.<br \/>\nFollowing Trump\u2019s announcement, both countries suspended military activity across land, air, and sea, though allegations of ceasefire breach were also reported from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan and India have held the first round of talks between their DGMOs via hotline, sources confirmed Islamabad The exchange marks a rare instance of direct military communication amid heightened tensions between the two countries that follows recent tensions that saw the two South Asian neighbours on the brink of full-scale war.
