Trump said the two countries agreed to a “full and immediate ceasefire” after the nuclear armed forces were hit after the terrorist attacks in Kashmir.
India and Pakistan agreed to the terms of a ceasefire via the US following three days of cross-border artillery fire, drone attacks and missile attacks.
The two nuclear forces were hit by the most serious conflict of decades on May 7th. The conflict came from attacks in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, where terrorists fired fire on a group of tourists and killed 26 people.
A relatively unknown group called the Kashmir Resistance argued responsibility for the attack, and India suggested that the group is a derivative of the Rashkar Etaiba, a terrorist group that has attacked Indian troops and police in the past.
Pakistan denied the allegations, suggesting that the attack was a false flag operation by India.
Islamabad and New Delhi have been hit regularly beyond Kashmir’s control since 1947, when India and Pakistan were first divided and given independence by the British Empire. At the time, Pakistan was founded in 1948 as a nation for Muslims in India, in a similar way to how Britain divided Israel and Palestine.
