Before the ceasefire on Saturday evening, the fighting across the border had been moving at a rapid pace. India had launched a series of airstrikes on Pakistan in the early hours of the day, targeting nine air bases and two radar sites, inflicting heavy casualties.
The operational situation appeared to be heating up again just two hours after the ceasefire was called off at 5 pm, with reports of multiple ceasefire violations and drone intrusions by Pakistan along the western front. “As per the decision, Indian DGMO Lt-Gen Rajiv Ghai will discuss the basics of the ceasefire with his Pakistani counterpart Maj Gen Kashif Abdullah on Monday,” a senior official said. Some drones were seen in various parts of Jammu and Kashmir… India’s retaliation was particularly sharp. After four days of intense fighting along the border with long-range weapons..drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan agreed on Saturday to an immediate ceasefire on land, sea and air. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed the Pakistani violation at a press conference at 11 pm and urged Islamabad to take appropriate action in the matter. Soon, the situation calmed down. No firing or shelling was reported overnight. In the four-day engagement, Pakistani drone strikes in Jammu and Kashmir and the border areas of India failed as New Delhi’s weapon systems mostly shot down.
