Pakistan breaches ceasefire, India on violations

Hours after India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding on stopping military actions, the arrangement came under severe pressure with New Delhi blaming Islamabad of breaching it. In a media briefing close to midnight, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called upon Pakistan to take "appropriate steps" to address these violations and deal with the situation with "seriousness and responsibility". This came around five hours after the foreign secretary announced that India and Pakistan had reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect. Misri said, the armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations and New Delhi takes a very serious note of these violations."For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan," he said.

The understanding on stopping military actions came hours after their militaries targeted each other's installations that marked the most severe confrontations following India's Operation Sindoor targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) early on May 7. The India-Pakistan decision came following diplomatic overdrive by the Group of Seven (G7) and several countries, including the US and Saudi Arabia, urging both sides to deescalate the conflict. The government said there was no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any other place.
