India-Pakistan ceasefire: Elon Musk responds to Marco Rubio’s India-Pakistan ceasefire post, gives ‘one-word’ reply

India and Pakistan agreed to an “immediate” ceasefire on Saturday, following a sharp escalation in cross-border tensions triggered by the deadly April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The breakthrough came after what the US President Donald Trump called “intense diplomatic engagement” over the past two days. Amid the growing tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours, the US claimed it played a key role in de-escalating the situation. US secretary of state Marco Rubio said he and Vice President JD Vance held discussions with senior officials from both countries. Rubio also commended PM Modi and Pakistan for choosing dialogue over confrontation.
However, just a few hours after the ceasefire declaration, violation was witnessed by Pakistan in Srinagar and other border areas.
