On Saturday, Pakistan and India agreed a fragile ceasefire. The announcement, reports the south Asia correspondent Hannah Ellis-Petersen, was made after days of escalation between the two neighbours: drone and missile attacks; cross-border skirmishes; and a world watching on, hoping that these two nuclear states would not go any further. Yet while the US-brokered peace may have reduced the tension, the long-running dispute over Kashmir remains unresolved.

India and Pakistan have both claimed victory after a ceasefire was declared over the weekend, which brought the two nuclear-nations back from the brink of war. After days of escalating clashes that culminated in both sides launching missile and drone strikes on each other’s major military bases – the closest they had come to full-scale war in decades – the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was declared by US President Donald Trump on Saturday evening.

India and Pakistan have agreed to a US-mediated ceasefire with immediate effect, ending days of escalating clashes between the two nuclear-armed countries, which had prompted concerns of a wider war. The ceasefire was first announced by US president, Donald Trump, on Saturday afternoon, after 48 hours of diplomacy between India and Pakistan, apparently brokered by US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and vice-resident, JD Vance.
