Pakistan's army said on Tuesday that more than 50 people were killed in last week's military clashes with India which ended in a ceasefire agreed by the nuclear-armed neighbours, restoring peace to their border.

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's army announced on Tuesday a new death toll of 40 civilians and 11 military service members killed last week in the country's worst confrontation with India in decades. The nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors engaged in four days of tit-for-tat strikes that threatened to escalate into all-out war before United States President Donald Trump announced on Saturday a ceasefire he claimed that Washington brokered.

India and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire mediated by the US, though each of the nuclear-armed powers soon accused the other of violating the truce.
