India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on May 10 after U.S. pressure and diplomacy, announcing a sudden stop to a conflict that had seemed to be spiralling alarmingly.

But within hours, violations were reported from the main cities of Kashmir on the Indian side. Blasts were heard in Srinagar and Jammu and projectiles and flashes were seen in the night sky over Jammu, similar to the events of the previous evening, according to authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses.

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah posted on X: "What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!"

Military spokespeople in both countries did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
