India and Pakistan have agreed on an immediate ceasefire after cross-border tensions escalated following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The ceasefire was a result of negotiations between Indian and Pakistani officials.
After Indian armed forces carried out precision strikes on terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir under 'Operation Sindoor', Pakistan fired missiles and drones along the Line of Control and the International Border, which were foiled by Indian Army's air defence systems.

2. Integrated check post will remain closed The Integrated Check-Post at Attari will also remain closed. The Attari-Wagah border crossing between India and Pakistan has been completely closed after a week of heavy cross-border movement.
