NEW DELHI: Sirens blared and explosions echoed across India’s border states on Saturday evening as Pakistan once again launched drones into Indian airspace , just hours after both countries agreed to a ceasefire.
Loud blasts were reported in Srinagar, while air raid sirens went off in Udhampur and other parts of the Jammu region.
Blackouts were enforced in several areas across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan as a precaution amid what marks another Pakistani drone intrusion in a series of night-time provocations.
What makes this attack particularly significant is that it came just after Pakistan itself reached out to India earlier in the day, proposing a full ceasefire across land, air, and sea-a move later confirmed by ministry of external affairs.
US President Donald Trump also announced the development on his Truth Social, said: “After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence.”
Despite the ceasefire agreement , India continues to deal with persistent drone attacks from Pakistan. However, most of these threats have been neutralised by India’s air defence systems.
The tension is constantly escalating as India’s strong retaliatory strike—‘ Operation Sindoor ’—launched on May 7, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
This operation was a direct response to the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, in which 26 people, mostly tourists, lost their lives in a Pakistan-backed assault.
