India and Pakistan have agreed to consider "immediate measures" to ensure reduction of troops at the border and forward areas, according to an Indian readout after the Director-General of Military Operation (DGMO)-level talks on Monday evening.
The Indian readout was released late last evening.
"Issues related to continuing the commitment that both sides must not fire a single shot or initiate any aggressive and inimical action against each other were discussed," said the statement.
This was the second interaction between the DGMOs of two countries since the mutual decision to initiate a pause in "all firing and military action on land and in the air and sea" from 5 PM IST on Saturday (10 May).
Indian counter-terror precision strikes against nine terrorist hideouts and training centres in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir on 7 May had sparked nearly three days of kinetic conflict between the South Asian neighbours. As informed by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on 10 May, the Pakistani DGMO initiated a call to his Indian counterpart at 3:30 PM IST requesting a ceasefire, which was then agreed to by both sides.
Codenamed Operation Sindoor, India's military retaliation against terror infrastructure was in direct response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack on 22 April, which had left 25 Indians and one Nepalese citizen dead.
India has said that it has found proof of "cross-border linkages" to the terrorist attack, claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of UN-designated terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)*.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Monday evening that over 100 "dreaded terrorists" had been left dead in Indian precision strikes on 7 May.
