A ceasefire signed to end the conflict between India and Pakistan was shaken by night combat in the disputed caixemira region.
People on both sides of the control line, who divide the territory, reported intense shots between Indian and Pakistani troops. The fights decreased on Sunday morning, 11.
The two countries had agreed with the truce the day before, after negotiations to contain the most serious military confrontation between them in decades, triggered by a massacre to tourist shots that India attributes to Pakistan – accusation denied by Islamabad.
As part of the ceasefire, neighbors with nuclear weapons agreed to immediately interrupt all military shots and actions by land, air and sea. However, hours later, both accused the other of violating the deal repeatedly.
According to Indian authorities, drones were sighted on Saturday night over India -controlled cashmire and the Western state of Gujarat.
In the Poonch region of Caxemira under Indian control, residents said the intense bombing of the last days traumatized them.

In the Neelum Valley, in the Pakistan cashmire controlled, about three kilometers from the control line, residents reported gunfire and heavy bombing after the ceasefire began.
“We were happy with the announcement, but once again the situation seems uncertain,” said resident Mohammad Zahid.

United States President Donald Trump was the first to disclose the deal on his social truth platform. Indian and Pakistani authorities confirmed the news soon after.

Unlike Pakistan, India has not mentioned Trump or the US since the announcement of the deal. Nor did it recognize anyone but its military contacts with the Pakistani.
