Al Jazeera reported that on May 12 local time, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India had "ao only temporarily suspended" military action against Pakistan in the context of the two nuclear-armed neighboring countries having just reached a ceasefire.
Speaking in New Delhi, Mr. Modi noted that India will still respond in its own way if it continues to be threatened in the future and does not distinguish between pro-terrorist governments or terrorist groups.
Prime Minister Modi's statements came just two days after India and Pakistan agreed a ceasefire on May 10.
On the same day, US President Donald Trump said that he and his team had successfully blocked a nuclear conflict by contributing to mediating a ceasefire agreement.
Tensions escalated between the two nuclear-weapmed countries following a bloody attack on 22 April, targeting tourists in Kashmir. The incident killed 26 people. India has accused Pakistan of being behind the incident - an accusation Islamabad has strongly denied.
Since May 6, the Indian military has decided to carry out many airstrikes with missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and fighter jets targeting targets in Pakistan and the Kashmir region.
At the time, Mr. Modi said that Pakistan had chosen to attack India rather than fight against terrorism, and stressed that India would not condone the nuclear threat.
According to incomplete statistics from both sides, the fighting since last week has killed about 60 civilians on both sides.
