India and Pakistan have agreed to extend their delicate truce till Sunday, as tensions remain high between the two nuclear-armed nations.
Both countries' military leaders are set to meet for next-step talks but these have been delayed for now.
Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar has reported that the Pakistan Army agreed to the extension during a phone call between the two Directors Generals of Military Operations. However, there was no confirmation from the Indian Army on this.
Both sides had agreed to consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction from the borders and forward areas during the 10 May understanding.
Tensions between India and Pakistan boiled over into a military confrontation on 7 May. This was after India bombed nine sites across six cities in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
India labelled the strikes as hits on "terrorist infrastructure” in response to the killings of tourists in India-administered Kashmir on 22 April.
Kashmir is a hotly disputed part of both nations, administered by India and Pakistan depending on the region.
