India Confirms Halt in Offensive, Reopens 32 Posts After India-Pakistan Ceasefire | WPN World People News

After days of intense clashes, India and its longtime rival Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement on the 10th, though the international community remains skeptical. On the 12th, India stated that both sides had experienced "the first calm night in recent days," and announced the reopening of 32 airports. Military leaders from both countries are scheduled to meet on the 12th to discuss follow-up actions.

Last week, both sides exchanged missiles, drones, and artillery fire over a four-day period, resulting in at least 60 deaths and forcing thousands to flee their homes. The border town of Poonch, in the Indian-controlled Kashmir region, suffered the heaviest damage, with at least 12 residents killed. It is estimated that the majority of the town's 60,000 residents have fled. Although a ceasefire agreement has been reached, both India and Pakistan accused each other of violations after U.S. President Trump announced the news on social media, further fueling doubts about the truce.

The military leaders of India and Pakistan are set to meet on the 12th to discuss next steps. India’s civil aviation operations are gradually resuming, while Pakistan had already fully reopened its airspace on the 10th—signs that tensions may be easing. However, whether the two sides can maintain peace remains to be seen.
