India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire. The directors general of military operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 5 pm on Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced on Saturday.

The brief announcement by the foreign secretary came shortly after US President Donald Trump said India and Pakistan have agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after talks mediated by the US.

The DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 3.35 pm earlier this afternoon, Misri said.

Despite the ceasefire, the suspension of visa services by India for Pakistani nationals will stay in place. All existing valid visas issued by India to Pakistani nationals have been revoked from April 27.
