As far as the continuation of a break in hostilities as decided in the DGMOs interaction of 12th May is concerned, there is no expiry date to it,” the Indian Army said.

The two countries reached an understanding on Saturday on the stoppage of firing and military action following a call made by Pakistan‘s DGMO to his Indian counterpart Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai.Lt Gen Ghai, who interacted with the media at a joint press conference on Sunday (May 11), said his Pakistan counterpart proposed during an interaction on Saturday that “we cease hostilities”.India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and struck nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir in response to a ghastly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam last month in which 26 people were killed.
