India-Pakistan Conflict Morning Brief: India's Massive Retaliation, Ceasefire, Drone Attack & More - 10 Key Developments

India-Pakistan Tensions, Ceasefire Latest Update May 11: India said that despite the ceasefire understanding, the Indus Water Treaty and visas remain in abeyance. India also revised its policy, stating that any terrorist incident in India will be treated as an Act of War and will be responded to by military action.

India-Pakistan Conflict Latest Update: After three days of major escalation between India and Pakistan, the two countries reached a ceasefire understanding to halt all military action on land, air and sea. While India said that the understanding was reached only due to the talks between the Director Generals of Military Operations of both sides, the United States said that it brokered the peace after 48 hours of discussion. Pakistan also thanked America for its support. However, the current trends say there is no end to the hostilities as border areas remain on alert. With this, India's Operation Sindoor came to a halt but did not conclude as the trust deficit with Pakistan remains. 10 Key points:

1. India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire understanding, with New Delhi saying it was initiated by Pakistan. India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said that Pakistan's DGMO called the Indian counterpart requesting a ceasefire, and India agreed to the demand.
2. India said that despite the ceasefire understanding, the Indus Water Treaty and visas remain in abeyance. India also revised its policy, stating that any terrorist incident in India will be treated as an Act of War and will be responded to by military action.
3. The Indian Army said that it remains in alert mode to counter any Pakistani misadventure. Soon after the ceasefire, the Pakistani army started violating the ceasefire in the areas of Akhnoor and Rajouri, while Pakistani drones were spotted in Srinagar and other areas. "While we will be adhering to the understanding that is the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force, we remain fully prepared and vigilant and committed to defending the sovereignty and integrity of the motherland. Every misadventure by Pakistan has been met with strength. Every future escalation will invite a decisive response. We remain fully operationally ready to launch whatever operations may be required in defence of the nation," said Commodore Raghu R Nair. 
4. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. "Pakistan believes this marks a new beginning in the resolution of issues that have plagued the region and prevented its journey toward peace, prosperity and stability," said Sharif.
5. Nations like Turkiye, China, United States, EU, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Azerbaijan welcomed the ceasefire and urged India and Pakistan to resolve the differences by talks.
6. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also welcomes the ceasefire. "Secretary-General welcomes the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan as a positive step toward ending current hostilities and easing tensions. He hopes the agreement will contribute to lasting peace and foster and environment conducive to addressing broader, longstanding issues between the two countries," said a UN statement.
7. As of May 11, the borders remain calm with life returning to normalcy in bordering areas. After 11 pm last night, there have been no reports of ceasefire violations or drone attacks from the Pakistani side. The Indian Army remains in a vigilant mode and keeps a close watch.
8. This puts the Indian Armed Forces' Operation Sindoor on hold. India launched 'Operation Sindoor' on the intervening night of May 7-May 8, carrying out precision strikes on 9 terror camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. While India termed it a non-military and non-escalatory action, the Pakistani army carried out drone and missile attacks on India since May 8.
9. After Pakistan failed to stop strikes against India, the Indian Armed Forces struck deep inside Pakistan, hitting at least 10 Pakistani Air Force bases, neutralising two air defence systems and destroying several Pakistani army infrastructure. While India hit cities like Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Sialkot, Pakistan fired Fatah-I missile at India, which was shot down in Sirasa of Haryana by the Indian air defence system.
10. 'Operation Sindoor' was India's action against terror infrastructure following the Pahalgam terror attack in which Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.

Situation is back to normal in cities like Rajouri, Akhnoor, Firozpur, Kutch and other border cities. However, the Border Security Force and Indian Army are on high-alerts.
