As blasts rocked multiple cities in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and blackouts spread across Rajasthan and Punjab, Indian government sources told a news agency that Pakistan has violated the “bilateral understanding” reached earlier in the afternoon to immediately halt all firing and military action on land, at sea, and in the air.
This came hours after India announced the understanding following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full scale war.
