India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire following a night of intensive US-mediated negotiations, US President Donald Trump announced on Saturday.

The ceasefire announcement comes after days of heightened military escalation, with both countries launching strikes and counter-strikes against each other's military installations.

"After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE," Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social.

"Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence," the US president added.

US offers mediation amid escalation in Kashmir

The State Department announced that Secretary Marco Rubio "offered US assistance in starting constructive talks in order to avoid future conflicts" during discussions with foreign ministers and General Munir.

The US mediation in the India-Pakistan conflict comes as violence intensifies, with Pakistan launching counterattacks following Indian strikes on three air bases.

India carried out the strikes in response to an earlier attack on the Indian-controlled side of Kashmir. New Delhi has blamed Islamabad for the attack, while Pakistan has denied any involvement.

While the US State Department has consistently pushed for de-escalation, divisions within the Trump administration’s foreign policy approach have emerged.

US to avoid involvement

Vice President JD Vance stated on Friday that the US would not get involved in the India-Pakistan conflict, emphasizing that the tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations were "fundamentally none of our business."

During an interview with Fox News, the Vance stated that while the US would work to de-escalate the conflict, it could not compel either side to "lay down their arms."

He added that since the US could not force either side to lay down their arms, it would "continue to pursue this thing through diplomatic channels" without reaching a definitive resolution.

“Our hope and our expectation is that this is not going to spiral into a broader regional war or, God forbid, a nuclear conflict,” Vance said, adding that he does not think a nuclear war is something that will transpire.

India-Pakistan tensions reach new heights

Pakistan launched retaliatory attacks against India on Saturday after three of its air bases were targeted overnight, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict. The strikes follow days of growing hostilities, raising fears of a full-blown war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.

The Pakistani military was responding to Indian missile attacks on its territory.

Military spokesperson Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated in a late-night televised address that three Pakistani air bases had been struck, but most of the missiles were intercepted and "no flying assets" were damaged.

One of the targeted bases was Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi, just 10 kilometers from the capital, Islamabad. The base, which regularly receives foreign dignitaries, had hosted Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir only hours before the strikes. 

“Now you just wait for our response,” Chaudhry warned India.
