India, Pakistan Accuse Each Other of Ceasefire Violations Hours After Agreement

India and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire on May 10 after US-brokered talks, ending weeks of intense military clashes including missile and drone strikes triggered by a terrorist attack in Indian Kashmir. However, the ceasefire lasted only a few hours, with both countries accusing each other of violations shortly after the agreement. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri reported repeated ceasefire breaches by Pakistan and confirmed Indian forces were retaliating, while Pakistan blamed India for initiating violations and claimed to be handling the situation responsibly. The violence included incidents such as a thwarted intrusion attempt at Nagrota Military Station and multiple explosions in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Despite sporadic ceasefire violations and heightened military alerts, border residents experienced some relief by May 11, with restoration of power and reopening of shops, although broader tensions remain due to suspended trade and water-sharing agreements. The fragile truce highlights the ongoing volatility and mistrust between the two nuclear-armed neighbors following Operation Sindoor and recent escalations.
