Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated again just hours after they agreed to a full ceasefire. Vikram Misri, India’s foreign secretary, accused Pakistan of violating the truce, saying Indian forces were responding appropriately. The ceasefire was announced on Saturday evening after days of cross-border fighting that left at least 66 people dead.
Ceasefire Breach
Misri claimed Pakistan had repeatedly broken the ceasefire agreement since it took effect. The BBC team in Indian-controlled Kashmir reported hearing several explosions, but it was unclear which side was responsible. The latest violence follows India’s air strikes on Pakistani territory on Wednesday. India said the strikes were in response to militants killing tourists in Kashmir last month, which India blamed on Pakistan. The Pakistani government denied involvement.
Background
