India Accuses Pakistan of Violating Ceasefire Agreement – Explosions Heard in Srinagar

Pakistan breached the previously agreed ceasefire, following four days of clashes along the border between the two countries, a source close to the Indian government reported to the French Agency. Intense explosions were heard early in the evening across Srinagar, the largest city in Indian-administered Kashmir, and electricity was cut off, journalists on the ground confirmed despite earlier assurances. Omar Abdullah, the Chief Minister of Indian Kashmir, confirmed the incident. “What happened to the ceasefire? Explosions are being heard all over Srinagar,” he posted on platform X. Earlier, India and Pakistan had agreed to an immediate ceasefire according to U.S. President Donald Trump. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that both nations agreed to a ceasefire after a barrage of artillery attacks from both sides on Friday night (May 9, 2025). Tensions escalated as India launched new attacks against Pakistani military targets, with Islamabad responding swiftly. After lengthy negotiations mediated by the U.S., Trump announced: “I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.” He added, “Congratulations to both countries for using common sense and high intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this issue.”
