Operation Sindoor LIVE I Pak violates ceasefire hours after announcement
Trump claimed to have mediated the truce
Within two and a half hours of India and Pakistan agreeing to a “full and immediate ceasefire” of armed escalation, beginning 17.00 hrs on May 10 (Saturday), several sectors along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir have reported massive artillery shelling and drone intrusions.
A blackout has also been imposed across Jammu district, which saw the first ceasefire violations occur around 7.30 PM in the Akhnoor and RS Pura sectors. Soon after, locals from Arnia and Pargwal also reported “heavy artillery fire” by Pakistan while drones were seen zipping across the skies of Jammu city. By 7.30 PM, similar reports of ceasefire violations by Pakistan began coming from Anantnag, Budgam, Srinagar and other parts of the Kashmir Valley too.
Ceasefire announcement
Earlier in the evening Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has announced that the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India and Pakistan have agreed to stop all firings and military action on land, air, and sea from 5 p.m. on Saturday.
The foreign secretary's brief announcement came shortly after US President Donald Trump said India and Pakistan had agreed to a "full and immediate" ceasefire after US-mediated talks.
The DGMO of Pakistan called the DGMO of India at 3.35 pm earlier this afternoon, Misri said.
"It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land, and in the air and sea, with effect from 5 pm on Saturday," he said.

From 9:30 am to 11:30 am, multiple security teams undertook the mock drill at SHAR, an ISRO rocket-launching facility in Andhra Pradesh.
“The exercise was aimed at evaluating the preparedness, coordination, and response time of security forces in the event of a potential threat,” said an official press release.
Under the supervision of CISF DIG Sanjay Kumar, various security and emergency units such as the CISF Quick Response Team (70 personnel), CISF Bomb Disposal Team, CISF Fire Department, and medical staff participated in the drill.
A three-member Intelligence Bureau (IB) team, two-member marine police team and local police also partook in the drill, which demonstrated effective communication and swift action for the success of the exercise.
Similarly, a comprehensive mock drill was conducted at Tirupati Airport around 11 am to enhance public confidence and reinforce security preparedness.
“In view of the prevailing war-like situation between India and Pakistan, a comprehensive mock drill was conducted at Tirupati international airport to enhance public confidence and reinforce security preparedness,” the press release said.
The drill simulated armed suspects illegally entering the airport and opening fire at two passengers and another firearm-borne duo gaining entry into the airport, followed by the security forces neutralising them.
IB personnel, Quick Reaction Team (QRT), Bomb Detection Team (BDT), special party units, local police (15 personnel), CISF (63 personnel), one CISF dog squad, one armed reserve dog squad and others participated in this drill, the press release added.
