Pakistan violates ceasefire

Three and a half hours after India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement, Pakistani drones were detected in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan on May 10. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed the ceasefire violation in a late-night briefing.

Both nations had agreed to halt all firing and military activities on land, air, and sea from 5 pm on May 10, following a call between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of both countries. However, the ceasefire broke down shortly after it was announced.

In response to the violation, the MEA stated that Indian armed forces had been instructed to “respond firmly to any future violations” along the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC).
