India and Pakistan engaged in a conflict earlier this month after Pakistan intervened on behalf of terrorists and tried to attack Indian civilian and military installations.
The Indian Army on Thursday said that following the understanding reached between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan on May 10, both sides have agreed to continue confidence-building measures aimed at reducing alertness levels along the border.
The decision was conveyed in a communication issued by the Indian Army on Thursday.
“As the situation develops further, we shall intimate you,” the note added.
Meanwhile, a report by news agency AFP which cited Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, said that the ceasefire has been agreed upon until Sunday. The Minister told the Pakistan National Assembly that both sides had “military to military communications” on Wednesday and Thursday and “today we had a conversation and it is a ceasefire until May 18″.
The Indian Army has contested Pakistan’s claim that another round of DGMO-level communication took place on Wednesday.
