How did India and Pakistan reach a ceasefire understanding?
India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire amid rising tensions after Pakistan DGMO Major General Kashif Abdullah requested it on a call with India DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, Hindustan Times reported. Indian strategic strikes and US' push for a ceasefire in return for backing IMF's $2.4-billion bailout could've reportedly pushed Pakistan too. Pakistan violated the ceasefire within hours.
