A fragile ceasefire between India and Pakistan appears to be holding, following several days of intense fighting that killed almost 70 people. The truce, announced on Saturday by US President Donald Trump, was brokered after both countries had launched missile and drone strikes against each other's major military bases. The fighting subsided by Sunday morning, although there were initial fears that the ceasefire had fallen apart.
