India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has strongly condemned Pakistan for violating the ceasefire agreement established between the two nations just hours after it came into effect. He made this announcement during an emergency press briefing held late Saturday night. Emphasizing the seriousness of Pakistan’s action, Misri stated that the Indian Army is responding appropriately and that these violations are being treated with utmost severity.
Afternoon Agreement Turns into Evening Breach…
According to details shared by Foreign Secretary Misri, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of Pakistan contacted his Indian counterpart at 3:35 PM on Saturday, conveying their agreement to a ceasefire between the two countries. Instructions were issued by both sides to cease all military operations by land, air, and sea, effective from 5:00 PM. However, this agreement proved short-lived as Pakistan allegedly breached it within a few hours of its implementation.
Firing Reported in Jammu and Kashmir Sector…
The Foreign Secretary informed the media that Pakistan has been continuously violating the ceasefire understanding for the past three hours. Reliable sources indicate that firing from the Pakistani side has been reported in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir. Furthermore, drone activities originating from Pakistan have also been noted in the Peer Panjal area. The Indian Army is reportedly taking these violations with extreme seriousness.
Indian Army on High Alert Along Borders…
In response to Pakistan’s actions, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri asserted that the Indian Army is reacting appropriately. He conveyed that strict directives have been issued to the forces to robustly counter any violations along the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC).

Conflicting Reports on US Mediation…
While US President Donald Trump had earlier claimed that the ceasefire agreement was brokered by the United States, Indian government sources have refuted this claim. They clarified that the understanding was a result of direct discussions between the two nations and was unconditional. Nevertheless, India is firmly demanding that Pakistan immediately cease its violations and act responsibly, especially given the heightened tensions following recent drone and missile attacks that had brought the two countries perilously close to conflict.
