In a significant step toward de-escalating tensions in South Asia, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, effective from 5:00 PM IST today, May 10, 2025. This landmark announcement follows weeks of heightened military exchanges, marking a hopeful moment for peace in the region. Below, we dive into the details of this development, its context, and what it means for the future.
Background: Rising Tensions and Operation Sindoor
The ceasefire comes after a period of intense conflict sparked by a tragic terrorist attack on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians, mostly tourists, lost their lives. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based militant groups, prompting a robust military response through Operation Sindoor on May 7. The operation targeted terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, leading to significant casualties and escalating cross-border strikes.
Both nations engaged in retaliatory drone and missile attacks, with civilian casualties reported on both sides. The conflict, centered around the disputed Kashmir region, raised global concerns about the potential for a broader confrontation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Amidst international calls for restraint, diplomatic efforts intensified to bring the situation under control.
The Ceasefire Announcement
The breakthrough was first announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on his Truth Social platform, stating, “After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence.”
India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the agreement in a press briefing, noting that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) initiated a call to India’s DGMO at 3:35 PM IST. Both sides agreed to halt all firing and military actions across land, air, and sea, effective from 5:00 PM IST. The DGMOs are scheduled to hold follow-up talks on May 12 at 12:00 PM IST to ensure compliance.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar also affirmed the ceasefire, emphasizing Pakistan’s commitment to “peace and security in the region, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity.” He highlighted the involvement of 36 countries, with key roles played by the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey in facilitating the agreement.
Key Details of the Ceasefire
Effective Time: 5:00 PM IST, May 10, 2025
Scope: Cessation of all military actions, including firing, drone strikes, and missile attacks on land, air, and sea.
Next Steps: The DGMOs of both nations will reconvene on May 12 to review the ceasefire’s implementation.
International Mediation: The United States, led by President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, played a pivotal role in brokering the deal. Saudi Arabia and Turkey also contributed significantly.
Reactions and Implications
The ceasefire has been widely welcomed as a critical step toward de-escalation. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for their “wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace.” He noted that talks on a “broad set of issues” will begin at a neutral site, signaling potential for broader diplomatic engagement.
In India, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar reiterated India’s firm stance against terrorism, stating, “India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.” Meanwhile, Indian military officials, including Commodore Ravi Nair, emphasized that the armed forces remain vigilant to protect national sovereignty.
In Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described the ceasefire as a “full-fledged” agreement, expressing hope for dialogue and diplomacy. The reopening of Pakistan’s airspace, previously closed due to the conflict, was a tangible sign of de-escalation.
Regional leaders, such as Mehbooba Mufti, former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, expressed relief, noting that the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who often bear the brunt of such conflicts, can now breathe easier,
What’s Next?
While the ceasefire is a positive development, the road to lasting peace remains complex. The agreement’s success hinges on both nations’ commitment to sustained dialogue and addressing underlying issues, particularly the Kashmir dispute. The scheduled DGMO talks on May 12 will be crucial in maintaining the truce and building trust.
International mediators, including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, are likely to continue playing a role in facilitating discussions. The proposed talks at a neutral site could pave the way for addressing broader bilateral issues, from trade to counterterrorism cooperation.
Why This Matters
The India-Pakistan ceasefire is not just a regional milestone but a global one. As nuclear-armed neighbors with a history of conflict, their ability to step back from the brink demonstrates the power of diplomacy and international cooperation. For the people of Jammu and Kashmir, this truce offers a reprieve from the constant threat of violence. For the world, it reduces the risk of a catastrophic escalation in a volatile region.
At Creativo Camaal, we believe in the power of peace and collaboration.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story, and let’s hope for a future where dialogue triumphs over conflict.

Operation SINDOOR: Celebrating Indian Army’s Valor
At Creativo Camaal, we are inspired by the courage and resolve of the Indian Armed Forces, exemplified by Operation SINDOOR, a historic precision strike launched on May 7, 2025, against terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK).
Understanding Operation SINDOOR
Operation SINDOORwas a tri-service operation by the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, executed between 1:04 AM and 1:30 AM on May 7, 2025, in response to the devastating Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, which claimed 26 lives, including 25 Indian tourists and one Nepali citizen. Named to honor the women widowed in the attack (referencing the vermilion “sindoor” worn by married Hindu women), the operation targeted nine terror camps linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and Hizbul Mujahideenin locations like Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli.
The operation destroyed key terrorist infrastructure, including the Abbas Terrorist Campat Kotli, a nerve center for LeT’s suicide bomber training, and the JeM headquarters in Bahawalpur, reportedly killing at least 70 terrorists, including 10 family members and four aides of JeM chief Masood Azhar. Using SCALP missiles, AASM Hammer bombs, and Rafale jets, the strikes were described as “focused, measured, and non-escalatory,” avoiding Pakistani military facilities to minimize escalation. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh briefed the nation, emphasizing the operation’s precision and strategic restraint.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who monitored the operation overnight, coined the name Operation SINDOORto symbolize justice for the victims’ families. The operation received widespread support from leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Mamata Banerjee, and Devendra Fadnavis, with international backing from countries like Israel and the UK.
No Information on Operation SINDOOR Logo Designer
While Operation SINDOOR has captured national pride, no publicly available information identifies the designer of any official logo or emblem associated with the operation. The Indian Army and Ministry of Defence have not released details about a specific logo, focusing instead on operational briefings and media statements. If a logo exists for internal or ceremonial use, it may have been created by the Army’s in-house design team or a government-contracted agency, but this remains unconfirmed.

AL JAZEERA : Under this operation, the Indian Armed Forces carried out precision strikes on specific terror bases in Pakistan and PoK, which were used to plan and launch attacks against India.
HINDUSTAN TIMES NEWS : Sources say that the name ‘Operation Sindoor’ is a reference to the red vermilion many Hindu women wear in their hair to signify their married status. During the Pahalgam terror attack, several women lost their husbands, who were killed in front of them.
On April 22, a heartbreaking image of a Hindu woman, sitting in shock beside her husband’s body, spread widely on social media, symbolising the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that took the lives of 26 people.
The woman, Himanshi Narwal, had been married to 26-year-old naval officer Vinay Narwal for less than a week. The couple, on their honeymoon, saw their celebration turned into an unspeakable tragedy when Vinay was shot dead because of his religion.
Sources added that the name ‘Operation Sindoor’ serves to humanise the victims and survivors of the Pahalgam massacre, ensuring that their sacrifices are remembered.
Following the attack, the Indian Army took to X and posted, “#PahalgamTerrorAttack Justice is Served. Jai Hind!”
IAF targets terror camps of Jaish, Lashkar, and Hizbul Mujahideen
Terror headquarters of the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen were targeted, with the Indian Air Force conducting night raids on nine hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
Among the precise targets hit were the Markaz Subhan Allah at Bahawalpur, Sarjal at Tehra Kalan, Markaz Abbas in Kotli, and Syedna Bilal camp in Muzaffarabad, all linked to the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Other targets included the Markaz Taiba at Murdike, Markaz Ahle Hadith at Barnala, and Shwawai Nalla camp at Muzaffarabad, all associated with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Additionally, Makaz Raheel Shahid in Kotli and Mehmoona Joya in Sialkot, belonging to Hizbul Mujahideen, were also hit.
Of the nine targets, four were located in Pakistan and five in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.
