India, May 11 -- After nearly a week-long standoff at borders, India and Pakistan agreed to stop all military actions-on land, air, and sea-starting Saturday evening, said foreign secretary Vikram Misri.

This decision was made during a phone call between one of the top military officials from both sides, known as the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs).

The Pakistani DGMO contacted the Indian DGMO at 3:35 PM IST, and both agreed to begin the ceasefire from 5:00 PM the same day. However, Pakistan violated the agreement just a few hours later.

India's DGMO and his Pakistan counterpart are scheduled to hold another round of talks on May 12 at noon.
