On Saturday night, government sources reported that Islamabad has violated the bilateral agreement established earlier in the day to halt all forms of firing and military actions across land, air, and sea between India and Pakistan.
This incident occurred just hours after both nations expressed their commitment to a ceasefire following four days of drone and missile strikes.
According to sources, there have been reports of firing from Pakistan in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
Additionally, drones have been sighted in the Pir Panjal region.
Defense sources indicated that while drones were present and firing occurred, there is currently no firing along the Line of Control.
The initial announcement regarding the agreement to cease military actions between India and Pakistan came from a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed that discussions mediated by the U.S. led both countries to agree to a 'full and immediate' ceasefire.
However, senior government officials clarified that this outcome was a result of direct talks between the Indian and Pakistani sides, with Islamabad agreeing to the ceasefire 'unconditionally' and 'unrelated to other issues.'
Following Trump's post, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri informed the media that the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) from both nations reached this agreement during a conversation today.
Misri stated, 'The DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 3:35 PM Indian time today.'
He added, 'Both sides agreed to cease all forms of firing and military actions across land, air, and sea starting from 5 PM Indian time today.'
