PrashantNews

US President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that New Delhi and Islamabad have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.

Hours after the announcement, Pakistan sent scores of drones at Srinagar, Jammu and other areas. However, the Indian defence system brought down most of these drones. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on X said explosions were being heard across Srinagar. Blackouts were imposed in these areas.

Earlier in the day, Rajouri Additional District Development Commissioner Raj Kumar Thapa was killed in a Pakistan shelling.

But in a late night development, Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misry said India condemned these violations and that the Indian army was maintaining vigil and has been instructed to give strong response to Pakistan’s violations.

In yet another move, Pakistan has claimed that China has promised that it would support Islamabad against India.
