Hours later, the arrangement came under severe pressure with New Delhi blaming Islamabad for breaching it.
In a media briefing close to midnight, India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called upon Pakistan to take “appropriate steps” to address these violations and deal with the situation with “seriousness and responsibility”.
“Pakistan remains committed to faithful implementation of the ceasefire between Pakistan and India,” the Foreign Office spokesperson in Islamabad said in a statement while responding to media queries regarding Mr. Misri’s statement.
Pakistan’s “forces are handling the situation with responsibility and restraint,” the spokesperson claimed.
“We believe that any issues in smooth implementation of the ceasefire should be addressed through communication at appropriate levels. The troops on ground should also exercise restraint,” he added.
Tensions between India and Pakistan soared after the Indian Armed Forces struck terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) last week in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
