India and Pakistan engaged in the most intense fighting in decades with four days of escalating conflict that included fighter jets, missiles and drones packed with explosives. It ended almost as abruptly as it began.

WASHINGTON—Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire following U.S.-led talks to end an intensifying military confrontation, President Donald Trump announced in a post on his Truth Social media platform Saturday morning.

President Trump also announced the truce, saying it had been mediated by the United States, although only Pakistan quickly acknowledged an American role.
