The release of the statement has raised eyebrows among diplomats because it came a day after news broke out about fresh drone strikes and shelling along the India-Pakistan border.
India’s Response to Ceasefire Violation
India has strongly criticized Pakistan’s response as “extremely condemnable.” Indian troops have been ordered to retaliate aggressively if ceasefire is once again violated. With military operations already underway along the Line of Control (LoC). The Indian government has also re-emphasized the position that an attack on Indian territory will be treated as a war-like aggression.
Earlier Response After the Pahalgam Attack

India had retaliated with Operation Sindoor, which targeted nine major terror infrastructure centers in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The operation was meant to disrupt terror networks rather than involve military provocation. India also took a series of diplomatic actions, such as suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, recalling Pakistani diplomats, and suspending trade agreements.
