Civilian airports were reopened and stocks jumped in both nations, signs of confidence that the agreement to halt the most alarming fighting in decades was holding.

By Aftab Ahmed, Shivam Patel and Saurabh Sharma JAMMU, India/ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The military operations chiefs of India and Pakistan spoke by phone on Monday, the Indian army said, as New Delhi reopened airports and shares rose in both countries following a ceasefire that paused days of intense fighting last week.

India and Pakistan early Monday agreed to resolve a week of strikes and clashes with a ceasefire that does not permit “a single shot” or any other type of aggressive action. Both sides must also “consider immediate measures to ensure troop reduction” from their borders.
