A fragile ceasefire was holding between India and Pakistan on Sunday, after hours of overnight fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours, as U.S. President Donald Trump said he will work to provide a solution regarding Kashmir.

The first word of the truce came from President Trump, who announced that the two countries had reached a "full and immediate ceasefire," after talks mediated by the U.S.

The truce came after several days of the countries’ most expansive fighting in decades. One Indian official said the country would “deal strongly” with any violations.
