Ceasefire holds after deadly India-Pak clash, Army vows zero tolerance on terror, no talks but DGMO-level

27 hours after India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror camps in Pakistan-occupied territory, the Indian Army declared in a press conference that the military has fulfilled its aim of neutralizing terror infrastructure, not the Pakistani army. The ceasefire agreement—reached after a 3:35 PM DGMO-level call—took effect at 5:00 PM on May 10. However, Army officials confirmed that hostilities have only ceased at the border, not in India’s fight against terror. India clarified that no political, diplomatic, or NSA-level dialogue with Pakistan will take place; all communication will remain strictly at the DGMO level. India retaliated after Pakistan launched 500 drones and targeted civilian and technical installations. In response, India struck key military and nuclear-linked sites, including the Noor Khan Air Base, also home to Pakistan's nuclear command. This marked a turning point, forcing Pakistan to request a ceasefire. U.S. intelligence feared nuclear escalation, prompting diplomatic engagement. Former U.S. President Donald Trump posted support for the ceasefire and offered to help resolve Kashmir. But India reaffirmed its stand: counterterror operations will not pause. PM Modi emphasized a “New India” will respond decisively across all fronts to terror threats.
