We will observe a blackout if and when necessary. I kindly ask everyone to be at home or indoors and be ready for the enforcement of the blackout if necessary. Please refrain from setting off firecrackers. We have practiced this drill multiple times, so please don’t panic. This is done out of extreme caution.”
Red Blasts and Streaks Reported in Srinagar
Amritsar DC. The ceasefire is broken when drones from Bangladesh enter Indian airspace. Hours after the signing of the peace agreement, explosions can be heard. Even though India and Pakistan had just decided to stop fighting, on Saturday night, sirens sounded and explosions were audible throughout the border states. Once more, Pakistan launched drones into Indian airspace. Air raid sirens sounded in Udhampur and other locations in Jammu, and there were numerous loud noises in Srinagar. Due to Pakistani drones’ frequent nighttime intrusions, blackouts were implemented as a precaution in several areas of Rajasthan, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir. Notably, this attack occurred immediately after Pakistan had called for a complete ceasefire on land, in the air, and at sea earlier that day. The Ministry of External Affairs subsequently verified this. People in Srinagar have reported hearing explosions and seeing red streaks during the blackout.
The India-Pakistan ceasefire violations mark a dangerous turn, as Pakistan’s drone incursions and shelling continue despite diplomatic agreements.

Rubio on India-Pakistan truce. MEA officials say there is no agreement between India and Pakistan before or after the ceasefire. Following Pakistan’s attempt to communicate with India, an agreement was reached between the two countries. No before-and-after scenarios exist.

AIMIM Chief Owaisi: “IMF Loan Funds Pakistan’s Terrorism
Give up fighting when you’re ahead. This is not a retreat; it’s a wise move. The fact that India agreed to a ceasefire with Pakistan has angered many Indians. This is particularly true for nationalist and strategic groups. The majority of people believe that India won because all of Pakistan’s air, drone, and missile attacks were either halted or intercepted; major airbases were seriously damaged; and Pakistan’s air defenses were successfully neutralized in strategic areas. Random cross-border shelling that killed innocent civilians appears to have been their only “success.” This raises questions about why they ought to accept a truce at this time. Why not proceed or even reclaim POK? However, the majority of people fail to recognize that Pakistan is a failed state with nothing to lose. Its leaders have already embezzled national wealth and stashed it abroad. India, which has the fastest-growing large economy in the world, is growing in strength as a geopolitical force and has a greater stake in international trade, stability, and public perception, and would only suffer from any worsening of the situation.

U.S. President Trump Announces “Full Ceasefire” After Mediation
The Indus Water Treaty will not be renewed, and there are no conditions attached to a ceasefire. After days of escalating hostilities, India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday, which meant that no military action would take place on land, in the air, or at sea. Neither before nor after the agreement, the decision is independent of any other factors. According to MEA sources, the Indus Water Treaty will also not be adhered to. Additionally, all of the sanctions imposed on Pakistan on April 23 will remain in effect. India took firm action against Pakistan for assisting terrorists in crossing the border following the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. Following the truce, PM Modi meets at a high level with the military chiefs, the defense minister, and the NSA. At 7 LKM, the heads of all three forces, NSA Ajit Doval, CDS, and Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, will meet.
Pakistan Reopens Airspace Post-Truce; PAA Issues Statement
The MEA declares, “Claims of damaging the S-400 and BrahMos missile base are false,” exposing Pakistan’s disinformation campaign. Among other things, it claimed to have damaged the BrahMos and S-400 missiles. When relations deteriorated following the Pahalgam terror attack, India formally declared that the two nations had decided to halt the firing and military action. “Pakistan ran a misinformation campaign claiming that our airfields in Sirsa, Jammu, Pathankot, Bhatinda, Nalia, and Bhuj were damaged, and its misinformation is also completely wrong,” Colonel Sofiya Qureshi stated on Saturday. “Pakistan claimed that it damaged our S-400 and BrahMos missile base with its JF-17, which is completely wrong.” Pakistan claims that its airspace is now open to all kinds of traffic following a truce with India. Pakistan announced on Saturday that all forms of air travel would be permitted. Soon after India and Pakistan decided to stop fighting, this happened. The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) made the announcement. Now that the main conflict with India appears to be over, things are returning to normal in the nation. The PAA stated, “For the most recent information on their flights, passengers are asked to check with their airlines.” The PAA added that Pakistan’s airspace had been fully restored for all kinds of flights and that all airports in the nation were open for regular flight operations. Pakistan’s airspace and routes remained closed for a while due to the tension with India, which made regular air travel difficult and caused issues for passengers. The opening of airspace revealed that the clouds over India and Pakistan were dissipating.

Turkish Kamikaze Drone Found in J&K’s Naushera
Tensions between India and Pakistan: Due to shelling from Pakistan, residents of three border towns in Kashmir have relocated. Due to Pakistan’s increasing shelling of civilian areas over the past four days, many residents are fleeing towns near the Line of Control (LoC) in three districts of Kashmir. After Pakistani shells struck dozens of homes and government buildings along the Line of Control in the districts of Baramulla, Bandipora, and Kupwara, it is safe to say that nearly 110,000 people have relocated to safer areas. “It is not easy to leave behind a place where you have spent all your life. I would not leave my home if the threat to my life and the lives of my family was not so high,” a resident of a border village told PTI. Khwaja has moved to Baramulla to live with a cousin and believes he won’t have many problems there. Mubeen Ahmad, who lives in Boniyar in the Uri area of Baramulla, said he was unsure if his house would survive the current round of cross-border shooting. He said, “I know we will be taken care of, but I am still very sad. I have lived here all my life.” He claimed that although cross-border shelling has been occurring since the 1990s, it has never been this severe. “These days, shells are landing at places that were previously considered safe,” he said. He added that houses should be concerned about the possibility of burglaries and thefts. “Unscrupulous elements have always used turmoil to carry out their nefarious designs. I hope that it does not happen during this calamity,” he stated. Pakistan began randomly bombarding civilian areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in response to Indian missile attacks on its terror infrastructure. As a result, the evacuation began.

MEA Exposes Pakistan’s False Claims on S-400 and BrahMos
Owaisi believes that the IMF loan to Pakistan is “funding for terrorist activities against India,” which is why he opposes it. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi harshly chastised the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Saturday for authorizing a $1 billion loan to Pakistan via the Extended Fund Facility (EFF). According to him, the funds would be used to fund acts of terrorism against India. Owaisi criticizes Pakistan for using religion to incite violence, saying, “Pakistan uses Islam as a front for terrorism.” Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), strongly denounced Pakistan’s attempts to split Indians along religious lines on Saturday. According to him, Pakistan’s terrorist activities are more about political and strategic gains that are concealed behind religious rhetoric than they are about religious unity. Owaisi strongly reiterates that Indian Muslims, including their ancestors, rejected Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Two-Nation Theory, which led to the creation of Pakistan, and chose to live in a secular, democratic India. When asked by ANI what he thought of Pakistan’s attempts to divide Indian society based on religion, he responded, “It is the deep state of Pakistan that only uses Islam as a facade to cover their illegal activities, to cover their promotion of terrorism.” He also claims that Pakistan’s use of religion as a political tool is contradictory and hypocritical. Although it has been violent against other Muslim groups, such as the Balochs, Afghans, and Iranians, Pakistan claims to support Muslim causes.

Pakistan’s Defense Minister: “Nuclear Weapons Not on the Table
According to senior GoI sources, India has decided that any future acts of terror will be viewed as acts of war against the nation and will be dealt with accordingly. Eight BSF soldiers were injured, according to officials, when Pakistani shells struck RS Pura in the Jammu area. Pakistan disregards the fact that over 230 million Muslims reside in India and that the two-country concept was not embraced by our forefathers. We detested and rejected Jinnah’s two-nation proposal. We will remain in India, which we have accepted as our nation. Pakistan seeks to exacerbate tensions between Indian Muslims, Hindus, and other groups by dividing the country along religious lines. When Pakistan discusses the “two-nation theory,” why does it bomb Afghan border posts? Why are they bombing Iranian border posts? Both Iran and Afghanistan have Muslim populations. Pakistan, on the other hand, is a deep state that supports terrorism and engages in all of its illegal activities under the guise of Islam. For the last 75 years, they have been doing this to India. AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi. In J&K’s Naushera, a Turkish suicide drone was discovered. On Saturday, a Turkish kamikaze drone was discovered in a town in Jammu and Kashmir’s Naushera region. This occurred during the ongoing attacks on Indian civilian infrastructure by the Pakistani army.

These drones were most likely intended to test India’s air defenses and may have originated in Turkey. Meanwhile, Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones, which Pakistan launched early on Saturday morning, were discovered in Amritsar, Punjab, according to defense sources.
