India and Pakistan on Saturday agreed to a ceasefire following U.S.-led talks to end the most serious military confrontation between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades.
U.S. President Donald Trump earlier announced the truce on his Truth Social account.
Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence, Trump posted.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Saudi Arabia and Turkey played an important role in facilitating the deal.
His Indian counterpart, Vikram Misri, said the head of military operations from both countries spoke this afternoon.
The two sides are expected to speak again on Monday.
India said it targeted Pakistani air bases early on Saturday after Islamabad fired several high-speed missiles at military and civilian infrastructure in the country's Punjab state.
Pakistan said it intercepted most missiles and responded with retaliatory strikes on India.
Tensions have soared since an April 22nd attack at a popular tourist site in India-controlled Kashmir left 26 civilians dead, mostly Indian Hindu tourists.
New Delhi has blamed Pakistan for backing the assault, an accusation Islamabad rejects.
Misri said: "The Director General of Military operations of Pakistan called the Director General of Military Operations of India at 1535 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea with effect from 1700 hours Indian Standard Time today. Instructions have been given on both sides to give effect to this understanding."
