India accuses Pakistan of violating ceasefire, says it will respond

Source: ABC News

India has accused Pakistan of breaking the ceasefire brokered with the help of the U.S., saying it is responding to the violations.

India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri held a press briefing where he confirmed a ceasefire agreement had been reached, but accused Pakistan of violating it Saturday evening. He called on Pakistan to act to stop the violations to avoid escalation along the border, and says that India is "giving an adequate and appropriate response."

India and Pakistan had agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday, ending tensions that had been rising since an April attack on Indian-controlled Kashmir, both countries confirmed.

India's chief minister for the territory of Kashmir and Jammu, Omar Abdullah, posted on X in the last few hours that explosions could be heard in Srinagar, the largest city of the region.

However, the agreement was thrown into question after cross-border shelling restarted between the Indian and Pakistan armies on Saturday night. Srinagar, the main city in Indian-administered Kashmir, was also rocked by heavy explosions from projectiles that soared across the border.

An Indian government source told AFP that Pakistan had violated the ceasefire. A senior Pakistani security source said it was India that had started the ceasefire violations.

The Pakistani foreign ministry said in the early hours of Sunday that it “remains committed to faithful implementation” of the ceasefire it has agreed to with India.

Accusing India of committing its own violations, the Pakistani foreign ministry said its forces were “handling the situation with responsibility and restraint”. It continued: “We believe that any issues in smooth implementation of the ceasefire should be addressed through communication at appropriate levels. The troops on ground should also exercise restraint.”

Some news media are speculating that some front line soldiers didn't get the memo about the ceasefire.
