Srinagar: Hours after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire agreement, residents of Srinagar were rattled late Saturday night by loud explosions, prompting sharp public remarks from Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.

"This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up," Abdullah posted on social media, sharing a video capturing the blasts.

The timing of the incident, so soon after the high-stakes diplomatic development, has sparked fresh concerns over the ground reality and the true scope of the ceasefire agreement. Abdullah's comments have raised questions over whether the truce is being honoured uniformly—or if enforcement gaps remain.

Separately, a total blackout has reportedly been enforced in Jaisalmer, Ferozpur and Barmer, according to ANI, further fuelling speculation about ongoing military movements. Vaishno Devi has also been affected by the power cut.

The Pakistani army breached the ceasefire in Jammu’s Akhnoor sector, as well as in the Rajouri and Mendhar areas of Poonch, sources tol News18.

In a separate incident, drones launched by Pakistan were intercepted by India’s air defence systems in Udhampur. Drone sightings were also reported in Fazilka, Punjab.

In Udhampur, red streaks lit up the sky during a blackout, creating an eerie visual against the darkened skyline.

This renewed provocation from Pakistan came just hours after both nations publicly agreed to suspend military operations across land, air, and sea.

President Donald Trump stated that the United States had brokered a “full and immediate” ceasefire deal between India and Pakistan.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said during a press briefing that the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) from both countries spoke at 3:35 PM today and agreed to halt military action.

“DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) of Pakistan called up DGMO (of India) at 3.35 pm. They agreed that both sides will stop all firing and military action from land, air and sea from 5 pm onwards,” Misri said.

India said it agreed to the ceasefire only on its terms and any further escalation by Pakistan would be considerd an act of war.
