Fragile truce holds between India, Pakistan after days of fierce exchanges

A ceasefire between India and Pakistan appears to be holding after both sides accused each other of initial violations, marking an uneasy calm following months of intense conflict that claimed nearly 70 lives in Kashmir. Diplomacy and US pressure played a key role in securing the truce, which had already started affecting areas like Kashmir, where explosions under blackout were reported. Indian military officials emphasized high vigilance due to ongoing violations, while residents expressed cautious optimism despite the risks of further violence.
