PTI, NEW DELHI, MAY 12, 2025 : The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of India and Pakistan on Monday deliberated on various aspects of the May 10 understanding reached between the two sides on cessation of hostilities. The talks over the hotline were previously scheduled for 12 noon. However, they started at around 5 pm.
“The DGMO-level talks have concluded. Further details are awaited and will be shared in due course,” the Indian Army said. The understanding on cessation of hostilities was announced following talks between the two DGMOs on Saturday. Though there were cases of violation of the understanding by the Pakistani military on Saturday night, there were no such incidents on Sunday night.
“The night remained largely peaceful across Jammu & Kashmir and other areas along the international border,” the Army said in a brief statement. “No incidents have been reported, marking the first calm night in recent days,” it said.
Hours ahead of the DGMO talks, senior officials of the Indian military addressed a media briefing, highlighting various aspects of Operation Sindoor. “We have iterated that our fight was with terrorists and their support infrastructure (in Pakistan),” Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal AK Bharti said. “However, it is a pity that the Pakistan military chose to intervene and bat for the terrorists, which compelled us to respond in kind,” he said.
Under Operation Sindoor, India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9, and 10. The Pakistani attempts were strongly responded to by the Indian side, inflicting heavy damage to a number of key Pakistani military installations including air bases, air defense systems, command and control centers, and radar sites.
It may be added here that the Indian Air Force on Monday dismissed social media rumors that it hit Pakistan’s Kirana Hills, which reportedly has a nuclear facility. “We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there,” Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal Bharti said at the media briefing. India’s strikes hit an airbase in Sargodha, and there were some reports that the base is linked to an underground nuclear storage facility in Kirana Hills.
Along with Air Marshal Bharti, Director General of Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai and Director General of Naval Operations Vice Admiral A N Pramod addressed the media briefing.
