Both India and Pakistan last week announced an immediate ceasefire of all hostilities across land, air, and sea following four days of intense cross-border conflict.
On May 12, the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan held crucial talks and issues related to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive action were discussed.
However, Bloomberg later reported, citing a top official in Islamabad, that the ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan had been extended till May 18.

The Indian Army on Thursday said it would push "confidence-building measures" along the border with Pakistan.
The statement came hours after Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar said in a speech in his Parliament that Islamabad would not violate the ceasefire, which ultimately will lead "to a dialogue and it will be a composite dialogue".
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had also expressed readiness for "peace" talks with India.
Days after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, India said New Delhi will talk with Pakistan only on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and terrorism.
Operation Sindoor
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and struck nine terror sites deep in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir in response to the ghastly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 people were killed.

India neutralised over 100 terrorists linked to groups such as Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir through precision strikes.
After India's precision strikes on these terror camps, Pakistan escalated the conflict with cross-border shelling and attempted drone attacks on India's military bases, prompting retaliatory Indian strikes on Pakistani radar stations, airfields and communication hubs.
