Pakistan’s missile strikes forced India to agree to ceasefire: CNN journalist

ISLAMABAD: Both Pakistan and India have confirmed US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a complete and immediate ceasefire between the two countries, but a US journalist has now revealed the reason behind it.

Nick Robertson, a journalist affiliated with the American news outlet CNN, narrated how India was forced to back down and agree to a ceasefire in the face of Pakistan’s actions.

Robertson said that from the outset of the hostilities, the international community had been making continuous efforts to broker a ceasefire, but India had remained unwilling.

He further said that in response to Indian aggression, Pakistan launched “Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, during which it carried out a barrage of strikes on India.

Pakistan not only crippled India’s defence systems but also launched a flurry of missile attacks, which compelled India to come to the negotiating table.

Following India’s appeal, the US Secretary of State reached out to Saudi and Turkish officials, and the matter was eventually resolved through diplomatic means, leading to the ceasefire.
