“The DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) of Pakistan called DGMO of India at 15.35 hours earlier this afternoon. It was agreed between them that both sides would stop all firing and military action on land, air and sea with effect from 1700 hours IST,” said Vikram Misri.
Moments after the announcement, Pakistan opened up its airspace, and India turned its lights back on in areas like Punjab hours ahead of Pakistan violating the deal.
Earlier during the day, according to top government officials, India warned Pakistan that “any future act of terror will be considered an Act of War against India and will be responded accordingly.”
According to the latest reports, Indian government sources told the media that Pakistan has violated the “bilateral understanding” which put a halt on all firing and military action on land, air and sea.
