Following a US-mediated ceasefire announced by President Trump, explosions were reported over Srinagar and Jammu in Indian-administered Kashmir. India's foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, directly blamed Pakistan for violating the truce, citing "huge" blasts in Srinagar around 9 pm India time. The Independent's producer in Srinagar described the situation as "like the city was being bombed," with explosions lasting for an hour. Projectiles were also witnessed over Jammu around 7:45 pm, nearly three hours after the ceasefire agreement. While the ceasefire was initially hailed as a breakthrough after days of cross-border attacks, the subsequent explosions cast doubt on its sustainability. The Indian military stated it remains vigilant and prepared to defend its sovereignty, despite adhering to the ceasefire understanding.
