Trump says India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire

US President Donald Trump has said India and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire after American-mediated talks – although neither country has immediately confirmed a deal.

It follows weeks of hostilities between the nuclear-armed rivals, who have traded missile strikes, drone attacks and artillery fire and is their most serious confrontation in decades.

Tensions have flared since a gun massacre last month that India blames on Pakistan.
