from India Military strike The Indian military operations director-general said on Sunday that more than 100 militants, including its prominent leaders, were killed in Kashmir and Pakistan, which were managed in Pakistan earlier this week. His comments came a day after India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement at a US-led mediation meeting.
Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said India's armed forces attacked nine militant infrastructure and training facilities in recent violence, including the location of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, which blamed India for major armed strikes in India and disputed areas in Kashmir.
There is no way to independently verify these claims.
"We surprised us," Gai said at a press conference in New Delhi.
two countries Agree to truce After talking to senior officials, after decades of weakening the worst military confrontation between them. But a few hours later, the ceasefire was shocked in the controversial battle in Kashmir, with both sides repeatedly violating the deal. Drones were also found on Saturday night in Kashmir and Gujarat, which are managed in India, according to Indian officials.
"The understanding between the two countries has been repeatedly violated, stop the fire", Indian Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said on Saturday night, and alleged that Pakistan had violated the agreement.
"We call on Pakistan to take appropriate steps to resolve these violations and handle the situation with serious and responsible," he said in a press conference in New Delhi. Misri said the Indian army was "retaliation" for what he called a "border invasion." In a statement shared on social media, India’s Chief of Staff granted the Army Commander full authorization to “fight back” the violation of the deal.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry accused Indian forces of initially violating the ceasefire and said Pakistan is committed to reaching a deal.
"We believe that any problem in the smooth implementation of the ceasefire should be solved at the appropriate level," the ministry said.
The escalation of violence began last week, following the Indian-managed Kashmir gun tourists massacre. India blames the attack on Pakistan, which denies any involvement.
As part of the ceasefire, the nuclear-weapon neighbors agreed to immediately cease all military operations against the land in the air and at sea.
People on both sides of the line of control that divides the territory reported fire exchanges between Indian and Pakistani forces. The battle subsided on Sunday morning.
People in the Pangshi area of Kashmir, which is managed by India, said they have been traumatized by strong shelling in the past few days.
"Most people were fired," said college student Sosan Zehra. "It's totally messy."
In the Pakistan-managed Kashmir Valley, Neelum Valley, 2 miles from the control line, residents said fires and heavy shellings were carried out after the ceasefire.
"We are happy with the news, but the situation is uncertain again," Mohammad Zahid said.
U.S. President Trump was the first to issue a ceasefire deal and announced it on his truth social platform. Indian and Pakistani officials confirmed the news soon after.
Pakistan has repeatedly thanked the United States, especially Mr. Trump, for promoting the ceasefire.
India has not made any comments about Mr. Trump or the United States since the deal was announced. Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting on Sunday and chaired it with senior government and military officials.
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the deal, a positive step in easing tensions, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Sunday.
"He hopes the agreement will contribute to lasting peace and promote an environment that helps resolve the broader long-term problems between the two countries," Dujarik said.
Senior military officials in India and Pakistan are scheduled to speak on Monday.
Since Wednesday, India and Pakistan have fought daily on rough mountain control lines, marked by razor coils, watchtowers and bunkers that wind through the countryside, tangled bushes and forests.
They usually accuse each other of starting a skirmish while insisting that they are just retaliating.
Kashmir is distributed between the two countries and claims them all. China also claimed to be part of Kashmir but was not involved in the fight.
India and Pakistan fought two of two of the three wars in the region, and their relationship was affected by conflict, active diplomacy and mutual doubt, mainly due to their competitive propositions.
