Srinagar, May 10: Hours after it agreed to stop all firing and military action on land, in the air and sea, Pakistan has violated the peace deal with shellings and air raids in several border districts including Barmer in Rajasthan and Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir.
Reports came of Pakistan violating the cessation of hostilities with India's air defence intercepting Pakistani drones amid blackout in Srinagar.
Red streaks were seen and explosions heard as India's air defence intercepted Pakistani drones. Loud explosions were heard in Srinagar. A complete blackout has been enforced in Pathankot and Ferozepur in Punjab and Jaisalmer and Barmer in Rajasthan.
“What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!” posted Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on X.
Sharing a video, he said “This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up.”
India and Pakistan on Saturday worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar noted in a post on X that India will continue its firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism.
"India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action. India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so," he said.
