Kutch: Several drones were spotted in Gujarat's Kutch district on Saturday night after Pakistan violated the ceasefire and resorted to escalate the situation with India, within hours after reaching a truce.
Pakistan went on unprovoked offensive, proving that it just can never be trusted, violating an agreement which it was pleading for as Indian armed forces have been pounding on the rogue state for being a safe haven for terror camps.
The situation for a frustrated Pakistan has become more grim after its drone attacks aimed at targeting India's civilian and military establishments were successfully thwarted by India's robust air defence system.
Unable to handle Indian action, a rattled and panicked Pakistan started pleading before the world and requested India for a ceasefire.
However, within hours after both countries agreed for an agreement, Pakistan violated the truce and also launched a fresh drone attack targeting various districts along the international border and Line of Control.
Air sirens were activated and complete blackout was imposed in various districts including Kathua, Moga, Jammu, Pathankot, Jaisalmer, Ferozpur, Barmer and other places. People were advised to stay indoors and not to venture out.
Soon after Pakistan violated the ceasefire, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said, “What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar. This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up.”
Calling out Pakistan for violating ceasefire hours after agreeing for it, the Ministry of External Affairs said that it was a breach of understanding reached earlier today.
MEA said that the armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to latest Pakistani violations. India takes very serious notice of these violations and is maintaining a strong vigil on the situation.
Instructions have been given to deal strongly with any repetition of violations along the international border and the Line of Control.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting at his residence, which was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, NSA Ajit Doval and Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan.
Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri attended the meeting.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar noted in a post on X that India will continue its firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism.
