The ceasefire had been expected to bring a swift end to weeks of escalating clashes triggered by the mass shooting of tourists last month that India blames on Pakistan.

India and Pakistan agreed to an immediate ceasefire on Saturday, unexpectedly halting the worst fighting in decades between the nuclear-armed neighbors, just when their tit-for-tat strikes appeared to be spiraling out of control.

Pakistan violated the ceasefire as it launched a fresh attack on India. Multiple blasts were reported in Srinagar, while drones have been spotted in Barmer, Ferozpur, Kutch and a few other places in the north and western side of the country.
