India's
army has reached an "understanding" with Pakistan to "de-escalate"
military tensions after a recent deadly flare-up along the Line of
Control (LoC), a military spokesman told AFP Wednesday.
"An understanding has been arrived at between the two director-generals of military operations to de-escalate the situation along the Line of Control," spokesman Jagdeep Dahiya said.
Dahiya said that the two sides' senior military commanders had spoken for 10 minutes over the telephone where they reached their agreement.
"The two DGMOs spoke to each other at 10:00 am (0430 GMT) for 10 minutes and the Pakistan DGMO said strict instructions have been passed not to violate the ceasefire," he said.
Dahiya said Indian troops stationed along the border would also not breach the ceasefire forged between the two nuclear rivals in 2003.
The spokesman did not give further details of the conversation between India's DGMO Lieutenant General Vinod Bhatia and his Pakistani counterpart, Major General Ashfaq Nadeem.
