India and Pakistan Trade Accusations Over Ceasefire Violations Hours After Truce
Tensions between India and Pakistan reignited just hours after both countries agreed to a comprehensive ceasefire, with each side accusing the other of breaching the newly brokered truce.
On the morning of May 11, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement reaffirming the country’s “continued commitment to implementing the ceasefire” and accused India of violating the agreement reached the previous day. The statement emphasized that Pakistani forces were “exercising restraint and managing the situation responsibly.”
“We believe any issues arising during the implementation of the ceasefire must be addressed through appropriate-level dialogue, and that forces on the ground should act with restraint,” the statement read.
Later that evening, Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri accused Pakistan of “repeated violations” of the ceasefire terms and confirmed that India had carried out retaliatory measures. “We urge Pakistan to take the necessary steps to address these breaches and handle the situation seriously and responsibly,” he said.
Just a day earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump had announced a breakthrough: that India and Pakistan had agreed to an immediate and full ceasefire, followed by both governments confirming the deal.
However, the ceasefire appeared to unravel quickly. Residents in Srinagar, the capital of India’s Jammu and Kashmir region, reported hearing loud explosions and experiencing power outages. Photographs taken by Associated Press correspondents showed anti-aircraft fire lighting up the night sky.
“What happened to the ceasefire? Explosions are echoing across the city! There is no ceasefire. Air defense units just opened fire in Srinagar,” posted Omar Abdullah, a senior Indian official in the region, on social media.
A Pakistani official from the Pakistan-administered side of Kashmir also reported continued exchanges of fire along the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border dividing the disputed region.
The conflict reignited on May 7, when India launched “Operation Sindoor,” targeting nine locations inside Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir it claimed were “terrorist infrastructure.” The strikes were a response to a mass shooting near the town of Pahalgam on April 22, which left 26 people dead. India blamed a Pakistan-based militant group for the attack — an accusation Pakistan has denied.
Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense said its forces shot down six Indian aircraft during the early hours of May 7, including three Rafale multirole fighters, a MiG-29, a Su-30MKI, and a Heron medium-altitude drone.
Over the next several days, both sides launched retaliatory strikes across their shared border. On the night of May 9, India reportedly struck several Pakistani airbases, including one located just 10 kilometers from Islamabad.
In the early hours of May 10, Pakistan responded with “Operation Bunyanun Marsoos,” targeting multiple Indian airbases and claiming to have destroyed a hypersonic missile storage facility in the city of Beas.
The latest round of fighting has left nearly 70 people dead, according to reports.
