Just hours after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire was announced between India and Pakistan, both nations have accused each other of violating the agreement, leading to renewed tensions in the Kashmir region.

Explosions and artillery fire were reported in Indian-administered Kashmir, including cities like Srinagar and Jammu. India's Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated that Pakistan committed multiple ceasefire breaches, prompting Indian forces to respond forcefully. Conversely, Pakistan denied initiating any violations and accused India of aggression.

The ceasefire, mediated by U.S. officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, aimed to halt escalating violence that had resulted in significant casualties and displacement. However, the mutual distrust and rapid resumption of hostilities underscore the challenges in achieving lasting peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.

International actors, including the U.S. and U.K., have urged restraint and continued dialogue to prevent further escalation. Despite these calls, both India and Pakistan remain on high alert, with military readiness heightened along the Line of Control.

The situation remains volatile, with the potential for further conflict if diplomatic efforts fail to de-escalate tensions.
