After four days of firefights, US mediation leads to a formal understanding. But violations continue and Kashmir remains under tension

India and Pakistan again come close to a crisis. Just hours after the US-brokered ceasefire came into effect, the two countries – both nuclear powers – are accusing each other of violating the agreement along the Line of Control in Kashmir, a disputed region for more than 75 years.

The agreement came after four days of intense clashes with artillery, missiles and drones, which had raised fears of a new escalation. But already after the truce was announced, the Indian government urged Islamabad to ‘deal with the situation seriously and responsibly’, accusing Pakistan of not respecting its commitments. For its part, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry reiterated its commitment to respect the ceasefire and accused New Delhi of continuing armed provocations.

On the ground, tensions remain high. In Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, Afp journalists heard loud explosions as anti-aircraft defences were activated. On the other side of the border, local sources speak of exchanges of gunfire in at least three areas along the Line of Control.

Despite the precariousness of the truce, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism, claiming on Truth Social the key role of American diplomacy. ‘Proud that the United States helped reach this historic and heroic decision,’ he said, praising the leadership of both countries for understanding the need to halt an escalation that could have resulted in catastrophe.

Trump also promised a strengthening of economic relations with India and Pakistan and said he was ready to work on a possible solution to the historic Kashmir dispute. ‘God bless the leadership of India and Pakistan for a job well done,’ he concluded.
