India-Pakistan News:After it was announced that India and Pakistan had come up with a ceasefire understanding, which was to take place from 5 pm on Saturday, drones were sighted in parts of Jammu and Kashmir, followed by sounds of explosions.

After intense cross-border missile and drone strikes, India and Pakistan had decided to cease all the hostility across air, land and sea; but what followed later in the night was termed as a breach of the ceasefire understanding. 

Jammu and Kashmir was shocked, seeing a series of drones followed by sounds of explosions. Armed forces later intercepted the attacks by employing an air defence system. 

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, in a rushed press conference held at 11 pm on Saturday, informed that there was a violation of the ceasefire understanding in the evening and that the armed forces had given an adequate and appropriate response.
