There was relief among world leaders after India and Pakistan announced that they were stopping firing and military action. The ceasefire was to start from 5 PM today. But this never started, as Pakistan continued cross-border artillery shelling and drone attacks.
This has led to Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister to wonder, “What the hell just happened to the ceasefire?” In a post on X, he added, “Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!”
