After four days of constant fighting at the border, India and Pakistan on Saturday agreed to implement an immediate ceasefire following four days of border conflict.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri has confirmed India's acceptance of the truce terms.
The agreement comes after India launched Operation Sindoor, a military response to the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, which led to increased hostilities between the two nations.
However, hours after the ceasefire agreement, several drones were located and while sounds of explosions were heard in J&K and other places on Saturday leading to observation of complete blackouts.
