It also seems that the ceasefire, India and Pakistan claim victory

It seems that the fragile truce between India and Pakistan was largely carrying in its first full day after some preliminary skirmishes, as both countries turned on Sunday to the issue that was issued in the lead in the four -day conflict.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the two sides had agreed to a ceasefire with the help of American mediation. This led to a stop of a military confrontation that included drones, missiles and intense shelling, which escalated, with strikes on military bases in both countries.

Follow Mr. Trump with a Note congratulations On Sunday, he praised the two sides for “the existence of power, wisdom and steadfastness to know and fully understand that the time has come to stop the current aggression that could lead to the death and destruction of many, and many.”

He added that he will increase the trade “in a large way” with both countries, and that he will work with them to see if a “solution” can be reached to settle their seven -deciding conflict around the Kashmir region.

Pakistan, a close ally of the United States, which faded in importance, praised the American role as a mediator. But in India, it seemed that the general descriptions of the Trump administration for its role in mediation touched some sensitive areas politically.

The Indian government has always framing its relations with Pakistan as a completely bilateral issue, and in the hours that followed the announcement of the ceasefire, India said it was negotiated directly between Indian and Pakistani officials.

India did not refer to an American role, and it is assumed that it was partly because it was hoping to avoid any local perception that it had stopped its fight against its neighbor and the arc enemy under external pressure.

On Sunday, a senior Indian official presented a timetable for the conflict that confessed to discussions throughout US officials, but he described India as making its own decisions.

In talks with US officials and diplomats from other countries, the official said that India holds one message: It will respond to every Pakistani attack with a counter -attack.

The official said that after Pakistan sent waves of drones to India early on Saturday, the Indian forces were severely struck in some major military bases in Pakistan. At that stage, Pakistan Express ready The official said in front of the talks through military leaders, and the two sides agreed to stop shooting.

Some supporters of the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi threw the truce as a victory due to the strength of the Indian armed forces. They argued in Pakistan, and they were brought to a point in which she forced to search for a ceasefire.

On Sunday, the Indian Air Force said on Sunday that it had implemented its mission with precision and professionalism.

The victorious memes were less conservative, and the advertising paintings appeared overnight. “Greetings to the Indian Army – our pride, our protectors,” read one of them.

Some Indian officials said that India’s actions in the conflict clarify the most striking position that the country took terrorism during the era of Mr. Modi. India struck Pakistan after it pledged a serious response to the terrorist attack in Kashmir, the Indian director who killed 26 civilians On April 22nd.

India accused Pakistan of supporting the attackers-Pakistan denied any role-and after two weeks its military campaign began across the border.

Also in Pakistan, many threw the end of the confrontation as a victory for their country and their military.

Nadim Farouk Parasha, a prominent column writer in Karachi, said that the general mood reflects a sense of confidence that she did not see in the years.

He said in an interview: “Pakistan may have just won the first war against India,” he said in an interview. “I have successfully held a major Indian attack and recorded some military victories and vital diplomacy. India, on the other hand, has a very little to show it for maneuvering.”

Saber Shah, political analyst in Lahore, said that the Pakistani Air Force showed operational superiority.

“Indian losses, in terms of military services, are definitely much higher,” he said. Pakistan claims that five Indian planes were shot down. India has not recognized the loss of any aircraft, but the evidence indicates that it lost at least two, according to eyewitnesses and some government officials.

With both sides collecting their gains and losses of the other, the uncertainty remains about whether the ceasefire will keep it. Soon after its announcement on Saturday, there were reports of the bombing of the border. But the situation seemed calm until Sunday night.

Sajad Shafi, a local politician of the border town of Uri on the Indian side of Kashmir, said that Sunday was “peaceful”.

“There is a great feeling of relief among people,” he said.

But while civilians were desperate to return to their homes, Mr. Shafi urged them to stay on another day in the relief camps with caution.

He said, “You cannot trust the ceasefire.” “You never know what the next.”
