India, Pakistan Accuse Each Other of Ceasefire Violations Amid Kashmir Tensions

India and Pakistan agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire after days of intense fighting along their disputed border, raising hopes for peace between the nuclear-armed neighbors. However, within hours of the ceasefire announcement, both sides accused each other of violations, with explosions and drone attacks reported in Indian-administered Kashmir and along the Line of Control. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar denied any breach from Pakistan's side, emphasizing Pakistan’s commitment to peace and urging India to stop making false accusations. Indian officials, including Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, condemned Pakistani violations, citing artillery shelling and drone incursions, and vowed to respond accordingly. The fragile truce remains under serious threat as reports of skirmishes and clashes continue, with calls from diplomatic observers for restraint and mutual honesty to preserve the ceasefire. The situation underscores the volatility of the region and the challenges inherent in maintaining peace between the two adversaries despite international mediation efforts.
