BREAKING: Pakistan Contacts India For Ceasefire, India Agrees to Ceasefire on its own Terms

New Delhi (May 10, 2025 - 7:28 PM IST) - In a significant and welcome development, India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire following direct communication initiated by Pakistan. Sources in New Delhi have confirmed that the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations established contact, paving the way for a cessation of hostilities that escalated dangerously throughout the day.

This breakthrough comes after a period of heightened tensions, after Pakistan escalated after India's "Operation Sindoor" an operation against terrorism. Subsequent retaliatory strikes, were  followed by Pakistani targeting of Indian airbases and further Indian counter-strikes blasting several Pakistani Airbases. The direct dialogue between the top military brass signals a crucial turning point in de-escalating the rapidly deteriorating situation.

Pakistan's Call Leads to Mutual Agreement:

According to reliable sources, the DGMO of Pakistan reached out to his Indian counterpart earlier this afternoon. This direct line of communication, a vital mechanism during crises, facilitated immediate discussions aimed at halting the ongoing military engagements.

Key Elements of the Agreed Ceasefire:
Immediate Halt to Military Action: Effective immediately (believed to be around 5:00 PM IST), all firing and military operations by land, air, and naval forces of both India and Pakistan have ceased.

Direct Military Leadership 
Engagement: 

The agreement was forged through direct and crucial dialogue between the DGMOs of the two countries.

Strict Adherence Mandated: 

Both sides have reportedly issued firm instructions to their respective military personnel to ensure strict and immediate compliance with the ceasefire terms.
Follow-up DGMO Meeting Scheduled: In a positive sign towards maintaining the truce and exploring further de-escalation, the DGMOs of India and Pakistan are slated to convene again on Monday, May 12th, at 12:00 PM IST. This meeting will likely focus on reviewing the implementation of the ceasefire and discussing potential next steps.

A Collective Sigh of Relief:

The news of the agreed ceasefire will be met with considerable relief across the subcontinent and within the international community. The rapid escalation of military actions throughout the day had raised serious concerns about the potential for a wider conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. This agreement offers a crucial opportunity to step back from the brink.

The Path to Lasting Peace:

The immediate priority will be to ensure the ceasefire holds and that there are no further violations. The scheduled meeting between the DGMOs on Monday will be critical in building confidence and laying the groundwork for potential diplomatic engagements aimed at addressing the underlying issues that fueled the recent crisis.
