‘First calm night in recent days’ as ceasefire holds


THE country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi was set to address the nation for the first time since a weekend ceasefire with Pakistan that brought the nuclear-armed rivals back from the brink of all-out war.

Modi’s office said the television address would start at 8pm (1430 GMT) yesterday. The heads of military operations of India and Pakistan were also set to review the truce later yesterday.
