Summary

India and Pakistan abruptly ended their nearly year-long conflict on Saturday after four days of escalating drone attacks and airstrikes that seemed to bring their old rivalry closer to war. Both countries later accused each other of breaching the ceasing fire just hours after its announcement by U.S. President Trump on social media, with cross-border shooting reported across the disputed Kashmir border and heavy casualties among civilians. It remains uncertain whether the ceasefire will hold in Kashmir, where a terrorist attack last month on India's side killed 26 people, fueling the crisis.
