In response to a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, that claimed 26 lives of tourists, the Indian military started ‘Operation Sindoor’. Under the operation, the Indian Armed Forces conducted strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). This action escalated tensions between both the countries, leading to massive cross-border shelling and reciprocal military responses. Border regions experienced heavy security measures and temporary blackouts during periods of Pakistani attacks.

On May 10, India and Pakistan agreed for a cessation of hostilities.

On Saturday, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, during a press briefing, informed that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations called his Indian counterpart and during the conversation the two sides agreed to halt all military actions – on land, at sea, and air. The directives were given and got effective from 1700 hours IST.

Following a ceasefire agreement, further talks between military officials are planned for May 12th. However, ceasefire violations occurred on Saturday night in several areas, including Srinagar, Jammu, Kathua, and Nagrota. Additionally, Indian air defenses intercepted Pakistani drones near Udhampur, accompanied by a power outage and reported explosions. Similar blackouts were also implemented in Pathankot, Ferozepur, Jaisalmer, and Barmer.
