The violence involved missiles, drones, and artillery fire, resulting in nearly 70 deaths. Both countries accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, but the situation has calmed as border towns cautiously resume normal activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. President Donald Trump praised the ceasefire and pledged to increase trade with both nations while working towards a resolution on the disputed Kashmir region. The recent escalation followed a terrorist attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 people, highlighting the long-standing tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"447\" height=\"298\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-11-094634.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-124235\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-11-094634.png 447w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-11-094634-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid the conflict, UNICEF has expressed deep concern over reports of children killed and injured in both India and Pakistan. Many schools, which should be safe havens, have closed, disrupting children\u2019s education. UNICEF appeals to both countries to protect children in line with their commitments to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The UN Secretary-General also called for maximum restraint and urged all parties to step back from the brink of further violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ceasefire marks a tentative step toward easing one of the world\u2019s most entrenched conflicts, but the situation remains fragile as both sides remain wary of renewed hostilities. The international community continues to emphasize the urgent need to protect civilians, especially children, and find a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan is holding after days of intense conflict, brokered by U.S. diplomacy, Reuters reported.
