The countries had agreed an immediate ceasefire but it appeared to hold for only a few hoursFull story: India and Pakistan agree immediate US-mediated ceasefireWho is Asim Munir, the army chief leading Pakistan’s military amid the crisis with India?The general once fell foul of Imran Khan, but since taking the top spot has been quietly amassing power over the government and supreme court, as our profile here says.Yet even now that the country is out of the clutches of martial law, it is still widely understood that the most powerful man in Pakistan is not the head of the government but instead the chief of the army.Since Gen Munir took over as Pakistan’s army chief more than two years ago, he has been accused of quietly consolidating greater power without even having to topple the country’s civilian rulers. As he kept himself largely out of the limelight, he consolidated an iron grip over the army’s ranks and bent government policy and even the supreme court to his will. Continue re...

As both countries step back from the brink, the animosity generated by decades of dispute still enduresKashmir crisis live – latest updatesJust over 26 years ago, thousands of Pakistani soldiers quietly made their way on to high, rocky ridges on the Indian side of the de facto border that divides the former princely state of Kashmir.
