The Indian army on Tuesday denied reports by Indian media claiming Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LoC). The denial came after several reports suggested there was firing in the Poonch sector.
The army clarified, “There have been some media and social media reports regarding ceasefire violation in the Poonch region. It is clarified that there has been NO ceasefire violation along the Line of Control.”
The statement followed a post by senior Indian journalist Rajdeep Sardesai on X. He wrote that Pakistan had fired in the Poonch sector for the first time since Operation Sindoor. His post went viral, leading to a wave of speculation across media channels.
However, Sardesai later deleted the post and issued a clarification, stating, “Indian army has DENIED reports of any ceasefire violation by Pakistan in Poonch sector as was being earlier reported.”
Earlier in May, tensions escalated between Pakistan and India after an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). India blamed Pakistan for the incident. In response, both countries engaged in military confrontation.
Pakistan launched a large-scale counter-offensive named “Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos.” The Pakistan Armed Forces hit several Indian military targets.
During this operation, Pakistan downed six Indian fighter jets, including three Rafales, and destroyed dozens of drones. After 87 hours of fighting, both countries agreed to a ceasefire on May 10. The agreement came following diplomatic talks.
The ceasefire was first announced by US President Donald Trump through social media. He said his government held talks with both nations and helped broker the peace. However, India denied that Trump played any role. It rejected claims that US threats to end trade talks led to the ceasefire.
On the other hand, Pakistan acknowledged Trump’s role and praised his efforts. Pakistan later officially recommended him for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for defusing the conflict and helping secure peace between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
