India and Pakistan have agreed on a ceasefire, according to spokespersons from both nations, and U.S. President Donald Trump.

President Trump also announced the truce, saying it had been mediated by the United States, although only Pakistan quickly acknowledged an American role.

Blasts were heard in Srinagar and Jammu and projectiles and flashes were seen in the night sky over Jammu, similar to the events of the previous evening, according to authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses.
