New Delhi: Tensions flared once again along the India-Pakistan border as Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed ceasefire violations by Pakistan just hours after a fresh understanding was reached between the DGMOs of both nations.
Misri revealed that an agreement to halt military action had been made earlier in the evening, but was violated by Pakistan within a few hours. “For the last few hours, this understanding is being violated by Pakistan. The Indian Army is retaliating and dealing with this border intrusion,” he said.
He also confirmed reports of drone activity, calling it part of a “repeated breach of the understanding” and “extremely condemnable.”
“Pakistan is responsible for this situation. We believe that Pakistan should understand the gravity of the situation and take appropriate action immediately to stop this intrusion,” Misri added.
He further stated that the Indian armed forces have been instructed to respond strongly to any provocation along the border.
The latest violation has cast a shadow over hopes for peace, underscoring the fragile nature of the ceasefire agreement.
