Hours after a U.S.-led ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, India accused Pakistan of violating the truce. The agreement aimed to end a serious military confrontation between the two nuclear-armed rivals. However, multiple explosions were reported in India-administered Kashmir late Saturday, prompting the accusation from India.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that there had been "repeated violations of the understanding arrived between the two countries" regarding the ceasefire. He accused Pakistan of breaching the agreement and called upon them to take appropriate steps to address these violations with seriousness and responsibility. Misri also mentioned that the Indian army was retaliating against what he described as a "border intrusion".

Pakistan has denied violating the ceasefire, claiming instead that India committed violations in "some areas". According to Pakistani officials, their troops are handling the situation with responsibility and restraint. A spokesperson for the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Pakistan remains committed to the ceasefire and believes any issues should be addressed through communication at appropriate levels, urging troops on the ground to exercise restraint.

Residents reported loud explosions in Srinagar and Jammu, followed by a blackout in the two cities. Omar Abdullah, a prominent regional politician, expressed his concerns on social media, questioning the status of the ceasefire given the explosions heard across Srinagar. He further noted the activation of air defense units in the city.

The ceasefire followed heightened tensions and strikes by both India and Pakistan, involving drones and missiles fired from fighter jets. Each nation accused the other of initiating the strikes, claiming they acted in retaliation.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that he and Vice President JD Vance had engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, to discuss the ceasefire and initiate talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site.

Despite the ceasefire agreement, reports suggest that the Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan remains suspended. This water-sharing pact, which regulates the division of water from the Indus River and its tributaries, was suspended after India blamed Pakistan for a deadly attack targeting Hindu tourists in Pahalgam. Indian government sources indicated that there is "no change in stand" on the treaty, while Pakistani sources confirmed that the treaty was not part of the ceasefire discussions. Other punitive measures, including trade suspension and visa cancellations, also remain in place.
