Hours after India and Pakistan reached an understanding on a ceasefire along the Line of Control and international border, India has confirmed repeated violations of the agreement by Pakistan.
In a late-night press briefing, Foreign Secretary of India Vikram Misri said that there have been “repeated violations” of the ceasefire understanding that was reached earlier in the evening between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries.
“This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today,” Misri said, adding that the Indian Armed Forces are giving an “adequate and appropriate response” to these violations.
“We take very, very serious notice of these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility,” he added.
Misri assured that the Indian Armed Forces are maintaining a strong vigil on the situation. “They have been given instructions to deal strongly with any instances of repetition of the violations along the international border as well as the Line of Control,” he added.
