|May 16, 2025
The Indian Army on Thursday said it will push "confidence building measures" along the border with Pakistan "to reduce the alertness level" there, hours after Pakistan's foreign minister Ishaq Dar said that the May 10 ceasefire between the Indian and Pakistani armies was extended till May 18.
NEW DELHI:
"Further to the understanding between the two DGMOs (directors general of military operations) on May 10, 2025, it has been decided to continue the confidence building measures (CBMs) to reduce the alertness level," the Indian Army said in a brief statement.
It did not comment on Dar's statement made in the Pakistani parliament or confirm if the two DGMOs spoke again on Thursday as he suggested.
The understanding between India and Pakistan to cease military hostilities was announced on May 10 in the evening, after Indian DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai and his Pakistani counterpart Major General Kashif Abdullah talked over the hotline.
The decision, announced by US President Donald Trump, ended four days of fierce fighting that began with the launch of Operation Sindoor in the early hours of May 7. India has consistently said that the understanding was reached bilaterally.
