India and Pakistan have decided to continue confidence-building measures to reduce the alertness level along the border, Indian Army sources said on Thursday. Following the understanding between the two Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) on May 10, 2025, it has been agreed to maintain these measures to lower tensions. The sources added that updates will be shared as the situation develops further.
The DGMO talks reaffirmed the commitment by both sides not to fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive or hostile actions against each other. Both countries also agreed to consider immediate measures to reduce troop deployments from the borders and forward areas.
After initial reports of drone sightings in Jammu, Samba, Akhnoor, and Kathua, the Indian Army confirmed no drones have been detected and the ceasefire situation remains intact.
The DGMO-level talks, initially scheduled for Monday noon, were held in the evening following a proposal by Pakistan’s DGMO to cease hostilities, which was accepted by India’s Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai.
India had launched Operation Sindoor in response to the April Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. Subsequent Indian precision strikes on May 7 in Pakistan and PoJK reportedly eliminated over 100 terrorists.
These developments reflect ongoing efforts to stabilize the border and de-escalate tensions between the two countries. (ANI)
