Pakistan Blames India After Ceasefire Violation—Says 'We Respect Truce Fully'

Islamabad: A ceasefire was observed between India and Pakistan on Saturday evening.

On the other hand, the Pakistan government has said that it is committed to implementing the agreement with India with full responsibility. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has instead accused India of not respecting the ceasefire agreement.

He wrote on X, 'We thank President Trump for his leadership and active role for peace in the region. Pakistan appreciates the US for facilitating this, which we have accepted in the interest of regional peace and stability.
