Stop intrusion, or appropriate action will be taken: India to Pakistan after ceasefire violation

The Indian government condemned Pakistan’s repeated violation of the ceasefire, stating that the Shahbaz Sharif government should stop the intrusion “immediately”, on May 10.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump put out a post on X claiming responsibility for having brokered a ceasefire agreement between the two countries. However, this claim was contended by both nations.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, “An understanding was reached this evening between the DGMOs of India and Pakistan to stop the military action that was going on for the last few days. For the last few hours, this understanding is being violated by Pakistan. The Indian Army is retaliating and dealing with this border intrusion. This intrusion is extremely condemnable, and Pakistan is responsible for it. We believe that Pakistan should understand this situation properly and take appropriate actionimmediately to stop this intrusion.”

Misri further highlighted that the Armed Forces are being kept on their toes and will retaliate strongly if any further repetition of cross-border intrusion takes place, including along the Line of Control (LoC). “The Armed Forces are maintaining a strong vigil on the situation and have been given instructions to deal strongly with any instances of repetition of the violations of the borders along the Line of Control (LoC).”

Earlier in the day, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) and their Indian counterpart agreed upon an immediate ceasefire in the afternoon, which commenced at 5 PM. Both sides are scheduled to meet on May 12 for a second round of deliberations.

It was highlighted that the Indian Army had been able to destroy and damage several key air bases in Pakistan, including Skardu, Jacobabad, and Bholari, alongside the destruction of air defence weapons and radar systems.

Furthermore, claims regarding damage to airfields in Sirsa, Jammu, Pathankot, Bathinda, Nalia, and Bhuj were also debunked. Similarly, Pakistan’s claims of ammunition depots in Chandigarh and Vyas being hit were equally proven false.

The Indian government also highlighted earlier that any further act of terrorism will be considered an act of war by Pakistan.
