Blasts were heard across the city of Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir on Saturday, just hours after India and Pakistan agreed on a ceasefire, according to Omar Abdullah, chief minister of the territory Jammu and Kashmir.
"What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!" he said on X.
In another post, he wrote: "This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up."
The Reuters news agency also reported that blasts were heard in Jammu City and projectiles were seen in the sky. The French AFP news agency reported an anonymous Indian source saying Pakistan had violated the ceasefire agreement. – DW news
