JAMMU/ISLAMABAD, May 12: Top military officials from India and Pakistan are due to speak on Monday to discuss finer details of the ceasefire agreed between them over the weekend.
The US-brokered ceasefire between the nuclear-armed neighbours appears to have held overnight after nearly four days of intense shelling and aerial incursions from both sides.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, saying "it was time to stop the current aggression that could have led to the death and destruction of so many, and so much".
Both nations have ceased hostilities since then but say they remain vigilant, warning each other of the consequences of violating the ceasefire.
India announced on Monday that it was reopening 32 airports for civilians that it had earlier said would remain closed until Thursday due to safety concerns.
The tensions were the latest in the decades-long rivalry between the neighbours who have fought two wars over Kashmir, a Himayalan region which they claim in full but administer in part.
The recent hostilities threatened to turn into a full-fledged war as both countries appeared unwilling to back down for days.
Both countries have said that dozens of people from both sides died over the four days of fighting last week, partly due to heavy shelling near the de facto border.
After the ceasefire, however, both the rivals have declared military victory.
On 7 May, India reported striking nine targets inside Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir - this was in response to a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people.
The attack took place in a meadow in the picturesque Pahalgam valley on 22 April.
Meanwhile, India and Pakistan have delayed until Monday evening talks between their military operations chiefs to discuss the next steps after a ceasefire, the Indian army said, as New Delhi reopened airports and shares rose in the nuclear-armed rivals.
There were no reports of explosions or projectiles overnight, with the Indian army saying Sunday was the first peaceful night in recent days along their border, although some schools remain closed.
Saturday's ceasefire, announced by US President Donald Trump, followed four days of intense firing between the two sides and diplomacy and pressure from Washington. "BBC,REUTERS
