We're pausing our live coverage of the India-Pakistan conflict, but you can stay across further updates in our main news story. In the meantime, here's what you need to know from the last few hours:

• Posting on his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump said a US-brokered ceasefire between India and Pakistan had been agreed to
• Pakistan's foreign minister then confirmed the agreement - he added that "three dozen countries" were involved in the talks
• BBC teams in Indian-istered Kashmir later reported hearing sounds of explosions in the region - it's still unclear where these are coming from
• Not long after, India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said there had been "repeated violations of the understanding" the two countries had reached earlier
• In an address to the nation, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hailed the "historical victory" of the ceasefire but maintained that Pakistan "will do anything for our defence"
• Pakistan's foreign ministry then accused India of "violations", but said it is committed to the ceasefire - Pakistan's forces are "handling the situation with responsibility and restraint", the FM added

In the early hours of the morning, Pakistan's army claimed its military bases were under attack.

But by just after midday in the UK, both India and Pakistan had confirmed that a ceasefire had been agreed to.

In the last few minutes, Pakistan's foreign ministry has responded to that statement made by Vikram Misri.

A spokesperson said: “Pakistan remains committed to faithful implementation of ceasefire between Pakistan and India, announced earlier today.

"Notwithstanding the violations being committed by India in some areas, our forces are handling the situation with responsibility and restraint.

"We believe that any issues in smooth implementation of the ceasefire should be addressed through communication at appropriate levels.

"The troops on ground should also exercise restraint.”

Earlier we brought you some comments from Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri who accused Pakistan of repeatedly violating the understanding the two countries had reached earlier.

We now have some footage of Misri's remarks and him calling on Pakistan to "address violations".

A lengthy address to the nation by Pakistan's prime minister - let's just recap the key takeaways from what he had to say:

• Before Shehbaz Sharif spoke, India's foreign secretary called on Pakistan to "address violations" and claimed there had been "repeated violations of the understanding" the two countries had reached earlier
• Sharif did not make any comments responding to what Vikram Misri had said, but he said Pakistan had achieved an "historical victory"
• He claimed that "mosques have been destroyed" in the last few days - something India rejected earlier in the day
• Sharif expressed his gratitude to a number of senior officials of Pakistan's army, navy and armed forces
• The agreement of the ceasefire has been made "for the benefit of everybody", he added
• He praised Donald Trump for playing a "pivotal role in the ceasefire" while also thanking nations including Saudi Arabia, China, Turkey, Qatar and the UK

Closing his address to the nation after a long list of thank yous to other nations and of the military, Sharif says he has full confidence that water sharing, Kashmir and all other controversial issues will be resolved.

"Long live Pakistan," he says as he rounds-up his speech.

The PM now turns to thank his "very dear, very trustworthy and very dear friend China".

"I have to mention them," he says. "From the bottom of my heart, I want to say a big thanks to them."

He also thanks the Chinese public, "who have always ... been there when Pakistan needed them".

"I want to extend my gratitude to President Trump," Sharif continues saying Washington played a "pivotal role in the ceasefire".

"He is very, very good to us."

Sharif also extends his gratitude to other nations, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, for their help in brokering the truce deal. He also thanks the "advice of the British".

"We are a peaceful nation," the PM says, adding that there are millions of people in Pakistan.

"For the benefit of everybody we have made this agreement of ceasefire and we have been very positive about it," he adds.

Sharif says Pakistan has achieved an "historical victory".

He then goes through praising and congratulating senior officials of Pakistan's army, navy and armed forces - naming them one by one.

Sharif then conveys his gratitude to opposition political parties and pays tributes to the families who have lost someone in the last four days of conflict.

The PM continues with his address, outlining the attacks the Indian armed forces carried out against Pakistan in recent days and how his country's armed forces have responded.

"We have been successful in our principles," he says, explaining his country's army positions.

"The whole Pakistani nation has become successful, we have won. This is victory," he adds.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif begins his national address saying that if "someone challenges its independence, we will do anything for our defence".

Sharif says he wants an investigation and says there are "baseless accusations" being levelled against his country.

Reflecting on the last few days, Sharif says Pakistan has been attacked by drones.

He says "mosques have been destroyed" and innocent lives have been taken.

Shortly, we'll be hearing from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has just given a short briefing, just before 23:00 IST (18:30 BST).

He says: "For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding we arrived at earlier this evening.

"This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today."

Misri says India's armed forces are "giving an appropriate response" and he concludes his briefing by "calling upon Pakistan to address these violations".

Pakistan has yet to comment on Misri's statement.

In the last few minutes, we've heard from an Indian minister in Gujarat who says a blackout will be in effect in the western Indian state.

Cabinet minister Harsh Sanghavi writes that "several drones" have been spotted in the Kutch district.

He says a "complete blackout will be implemented now", before adding that residents are instructed to "stay safe, don’t panic".

The official social media for the directorate of information in Gujarat also says that a blackout has been declared in Jamnagar district.

It will be in effect from from 23:00 local time (18:30 BST) to 06:00 on Sunday.

"Citizens are urged to avoid using light-emitting devices during this period," the post adds.

After four days of cross-border strikes, India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.

Let's recap some of the key reaction to the announcement, which was first made by US President Donald Trump:

• Posting on his Truth Social platform, the US President said the truce had been brokered by the US
• Pakistan's Foreign Minister then confirmed the agreement had been reached by the two countries - adding that "three dozen countries" were involved in the diplomacy
• Later, Ishaq Dar singled out his UK counterpart as someone who "played a key role"; David Lammy responded by urging both India and Pakistan to "sustain" the ceasefire
• Indian defence officials held a short briefing where they said the navy, army and air force would adhere to the ceasefire but would also remain vigilant and defend India if necessary
• In the last hour, Pakistan's PM Shebaz Sharif said Trump had a "proactive role" in the ceasefire
• Finally, Sir Keir Starmer told the BBC the task now is to ensure that the ceasefire is "enduring and lasting"

The BBC's Henry Zeffman is with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Kyiv, where European leaders are meeting to discuss a ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine (more on that in our other live page).

Speaking outside the meeting, Starmer tells the BBC the UK has been "engaged" in India-Pakistan ceasefire talks for "some days", with Foreign Secretary David Lammy speaking to both sides of the conflict.

Earlier, Pakistan's own foreign minister praised Lammy for playing a "key role" in reaching the agreement.

"I'm pleased to see today that there's a ceasefire," he says. "The task now is to make sure that that is enduring and is lasting."

We are now hearing sounds of explosions in the city of Srinagar in Indian-istered Kashmir.

Omar Abdullah, the region’s chief minister, tweeted that explosions could be heard "across Srinagar".

The BBC's teams in the city also confirm hearing such sounds. It is unclear where these explosions are coming from and neither India or Pakistan has commented on them.

We're continuing to follow this situation closely and will bring you updates as soon as we get them.

The UN's Secretary-General says a ceasefire agreed between India and Pakistan is a "positive step toward ending current hostilities and easing tensions".

In a statement released a short while ago, the spokesperson for Antonio Guterres says the secretary general hopes today's agreement will lead to addressing long-standing issues between the two countries.

"The United Nations stands ready to efforts aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region," it adds.

Trump's involvement isn't surprising - but it is importantpublished at 17:01 British Summer Time 10 May

Isolationism is in the DNA of the Trump istration and until recently it was projecting a hand-off approach in this conflict.

Vice-President JD Vance previously described a potential war between India and Pakistan as "none of our business" during an interview with Fox News.

But this was becoming a conflict that the White House could not ignore.

On a personal level, President Trump sees himself as a peacemaker in global conflicts. He's regularly dispatched his most trusted envoy to Israel and Russia with instructions to broker ceasefires.

With tensions between Islamabad and Delhi threatening to boil over, it was par for the course for Trump to get involved.

But on a more strategic level, Washington sees India as a centrepiece in containing China.

In the strategy that goes back several istrations, the US had enveloped China with a line of allies from South Korea to India. As well as heightening military co-operation, India was a main partner in the Biden istration's strategy of "friend-shoring" to reduce American reliance on Chinese manufacturing.

Though Trump criticised India's trade barriers, he signed a deal with Prime Minister Modi to further expand security co-operation and trade.

While Pakistan is now aligning with China and Iran, Washington may have viewed the prospect of its close ally India getting into a dangerous conflict as too great a risk to regional security.
