·      India-Pakistan Ceasefire Violation 2025 | Drone Attacks Disrupt Peace in Jammu-Kashmir

·      Pakistan’s drone attacks disrupt the India-Pakistan ceasefire 2025, sparking tensions in Jammu-Kashmir. Explore Operation Sindoor and India’s response. #CeasefireViolation

Hours after a highly anticipated ceasefire agreement on May 10th, 2025 Pakistan violated the truce, launching drones and shelling across Jammu-Kashmir and Punjab. By Sunday morning, May 11th, calm returned to border areas like Jammu, Akhnoor and Rajouri painting a stark contrast to the chaos of the previous night. India’s swift retaliation and air defence actions neutralised the threats but questions linger: Can Pakistan be trusted to uphold peace.?

Details & Context

The ceasefire, brokered through U.S.-led talks, aimed to end weeks of escalating tensions triggered by the April 22nd Pahalgam terror attack which killed 26 civilians. India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Pakistan retaliated with missile strikes and drone incursions, violating the ceasefire within three hours of its announcement at 5:30 PM on Saturday.

By 8:15 PM, Srinagar’s vibrant weekend night turned dark as explosions echoed and red streaks lit the sky, signalling Pakistani drone activity. Blackouts were enforced in Srinagar, Jammu and other border areas including Punjab’s Ferozepur and Gujarat’s Kutch to counter the threat. Indian air defence units downed multiple drones and no further shelling was reported overnight in Jammu, Akhnoor, Rajouri or Ferozepur, according to @ANI.

Pakistan’s violations spanned 11 locations along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border including Baramulla, RS Pura, Amritsar and Pathankot. India’s armed forces responded decisively, targeting Pakistani military bases and airfields. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri condemned Pakistan’s actions, urging Islamabad to act with “seriousness and responsibility.”

The ceasefire violation reignited public outrage. Social media platforms, especially X, buzzed with reactions, with users like Congress MP Shashi Tharoor posting a Hindi couplet: “Uski fitrat hai mukar jaane ki, uske vaade pe yakeen kaise karu” (It’s their nature to go back on their word, how can I trust their promises.?), tagged with #ceasefireviolated.

Quotes

·      Omar Abdullah, Jammu-Kashmir Chief Minister: “What the hell just happened to the ceasefire.? Explosions heard across Srinagar.....!!!”

·      Vikram Misri, Foreign Secretary: “For the last few hours, this understanding is being violated by Pakistan. Our armed forces are responding firmly.”

·      Shashi Tharoor, Congress MP: “It’s their nature to go back on their word, how can I trust their promises.? #ceasefireviolated”

·      Venu Rajamony, Former Ambassador: “The number one priority now should be for the ceasefire to hold and extend over a long period.”

Additional Information

The ceasefire followed intense diplomatic efforts by U.S. officials including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio who engaged with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the truce on Truth Social, praising both nations for their “common sense.” However, Pakistan’s immediate violations drew sharp criticism.

Operation Sindoor, launched in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack, showcased India’s military precision, destroying key terrorist infrastructure. Pakistan’s response—targeting civilian areas with drones—escalated tensions, prompting India to maintain high alert status. No broader diplomatic talks were agreed upon with India standing firm on its policy of no mediation outside bilateral protocols.

X posts from accounts like @IndiaToday and @MeghUpdates highlighted the violations in real-time, with hashtags like #OperationSindoor and #CeasefireViolation trending. Public sentiment on X reflected frustration with users referencing Bollywood dialogues, such as Om Puri’s line from Lakshya to criticize Pakistan’s “deceitful nature.”

Impact Analysis

The ceasefire violation has significant implications,

·      Security: India’s robust response including downing drones and targeting airbases, signals zero tolerance for cross-border provocations. However, continued violations could escalate into broader conflict.

·      Public Sentiment: Outrage from figures like Shikhar Dhawan and Venkatesh Prasad reflects national anger, amplified on social media.

·      Diplomacy: Pakistan’s actions undermine U.S.-mediated efforts, raising doubts about Islamabad’s commitment to peace. India’s refusal to engage in third-party mediation reinforces its bilateral stance.

·      Local Impact: Border residents in Jammu-Kashmir and Punjab face fear and disruption, though Sunday morning’s calm offers temporary relief.

Conclusion

Pakistan’s ceasefire violation hours after the May 10th agreement exposes its unreliable stance, challenging hopes for peace in South Asia. India’s swift and precise retaliation, coupled with public and diplomatic outrage, underscores the fragile nature of the truce. As calm returns to Jammu, Akhnoor and Rajouri, the question remains: Will Pakistan honour the ceasefire or is this a prelude to further escalation.? Time will tell but India’s vigilance ensures it’s prepared for any challenge.
