According to Misri, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan initiated a call to his Indian counterpart at 15:35 hours earlier this afternoon. During the conversation, both sides agreed to halt all military operations — on land, in the air, and at sea — with effect from 17:00 hours IST today.
