Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared a national victory following a ceasefire agreement with India, brokered by the United States. In a televised address, Sharif accused India of initiating an 'unjustified war' after a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists. He emphasized that Pakistan's military response was professional and aimed at defending the nation's sovereignty.

Sharif praised the Pakistani military for its actions, claiming that they had effectively countered Indian aggression by targeting military installations, including military bases, weapons depots, and air bases from which attacks were launched. He also mentioned that Rafale jets were rendered ineffective during the conflict. Sharif expressed gratitude to the United States, particularly President Donald Trump, for facilitating the ceasefire, and to other nations like China and Turkey for their support.

The ceasefire came after intense military exchanges between the two nations, with both sides accusing each other of violations shortly after the agreement was announced. Despite these accusations, Sharif remained optimistic about resolving longstanding issues with India, including the disputes over Kashmir and water sharing, through peaceful negotiations.
