India’s foreign minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, in a post on X, said, “ India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action. India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.”

On May 7, India launched Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory move against Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack of April 22 in which 26 people died. Indian intelligence indicated that Pakistan was behind the attack.  India said Operation Sindoor targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. Pakistan responded with strikes.
