India and Pakistan faced a new crisis. Here's a look at their history of armed conflict

NEW DELHI — After days of intense firefights, Indian and Pakistani authorities said on Monday there were no reported incidents of firing overnight along the heavily militarized region between their countries, the first time in recent days that the two nations were not shooting at each other.

India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all military actions on land, in the air and at the sea, in a U.S.-brokered ceasefire to stop escalating hostilities between the two nuclear-armed rivals that threatened regional peace.

Within hours of the ceasefire announcement, however, militaries in both the countries accused each other of violations, raising fears if the agreement would hold.

The militaries of India and Pakistan have been engaged in one of their most serious confrontations in decades since last Wednesday, when India struck targets inside Pakistan it said were affiliated with militants responsible for the massacre of 26 tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir last month.

Pakistan denies any role in backing the militants who carried out the massacre.

The incident first led to a spat of tit-for-tat diplomatic measures by both the nations, sending their bilateral relations to a near historic low. The two expelled each other's diplomats, shut their airspace, land borders and suspended a crucial water treaty.

After India's Wednesday's strikes in Pakistan, both sides exchanged heavy fires along their de facto border in restive Kashmir region followed by missile and drone attacks into each other's territories, mainly targeting military installations and air bases.

Senior military officials of India and Pakistan will speak over phone later Monday to asses where the ceasefire stands. As the world awaits what unfolds further, here's a look at multiple conflicts between the two countries since their bloody partition in 1947:
