After days of ceasefire violations, the border areas across Jammu Kashmir witnessed “peace” with no ceasefire violations reported across the borders of India and Pakistan.

The Indian Army’s statement that “the night remained largely peaceful in Jammu Kashmir and other areas along the international border” marks a significant development following recent escalations between the two nations.

This calm comes after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire on May 10, 2025, which aimed to halt the most intense military confrontation between the two nations in decades.

Tensions escalated after a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025.

India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based groups, leading to retaliatory airstrikes targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan.

The ceasefire, announced on May 10, temporarily halted hostilities. However, reports indicated that the truce was fragile, with accusations of violations from both sides.

Despite these challenges, the situation stabilized by Sunday morning, leading to the peaceful night noted by the Indian Army.

While the ceasefire has brought relief, civilians remain cautious.

Many displaced residents are hesitant to return home due to fears of renewed violence and the presence of unexploded ordnance.

Authorities have advised evacuees to delay their return until safety can be assured.

The Indian Army continues to monitor the situation closely, maintaining a high state of alertness along the LoC.

Both Indian and Pakistani military officials are scheduled for further talks to ensure the ceasefire holds and to address underlying issues contributing to the conflict.

While the recent calm is a positive sign, the situation remains delicate.

Sustained diplomatic efforts and confidence-building measures are essential to achieve lasting peace in the region.
