US EditionIndia, Pakistan to cut troops on borders
- India and Pakistan agreed on May 12, 2025, to consider immediate troop reductions along their borders and forward areas following talks between their military directors general.
- This agreement came after heightened tensions triggered by the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in 26 fatalities, and was followed by Indian military operations called Operation Sindoor.
- On May 7, Operation Sindoor involved targeted strikes on multiple terrorist camps located in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, which led to retaliatory shelling and drone assaults by Pakistan along the Line of Control.
- Indian officials stated the ceasefire commitment requires that both sides must not fire any shots or initiate hostile actions, with the ceasefire taking effect immediately but seeing some violations from Pakistan before Sunday night peace.
- The talks and pending troop reductions suggest a potential easing of military tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors but underscore fragile conditions given recent violations and ongoing operations.
