From war fears to street celebrations: Pakistan hails ceasefire with India
May 12, 2025
Many in Pakistan are celebrating after a sudden ceasefire ended fears of a looming war in Kashmir.
Residents say the military's response restored national pride, with some expressing anger over India’s actions.
Families had fled border areas lacking shelters, but many now welcome the news.
The ceasefire follows cross-border missile strikes, with both sides carrying out attacks.
The US-brokered deal opens the door for peace talks between the two nuclear-armed nations.
Pakistan hopes the talks will revive diplomacy and ensure the uninterrupted flow of Indus water.
Despite the pause in fighting, major issues like Kashmir and water rights remain unresolved.
