India, Pakistan Claim Victory After U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire Halts Escalating Conflic
India and Pakistan have both declared victory following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended days of intense cross-border missile and drone strikes, bringing the nuclear-armed rivals back from the brink of war. While celebrations erupted in both nations, renewed border fire briefly threatened the fragile truce. U.S. officials, including Donald Trump, were praised for their role in halting the conflict, though residents in Kashmir warn that without a lasting resolution, peace will remain elusive.
