💨 Abstract

Nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday after intense U.S.-mediated diplomacy, ending four days of severe conflict that had escalated dangerously. The ceasefire halted the worst fighting between the two nations in nearly three decades, which had threatened to escalate into a full-scale war. The conflict began when India attacked targets in Pakistani Kashmir, followed by days of cross-border shelling and missile exchanges.
