Although a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan has been implemented based on mutual understanding, the Indian armed forces have maintained a vigilant stance, issuing a strong warning of a firm response to any provocation.
On May 10, Saturday, following the ceasefire announcement, Indian Navy Commodore Raghu R. Nair stated at a press conference, “India will abide by today’s agreement. However, do not forget—the Indian armed forces are always prepared. Any form of provocation will be dealt with sternly.”
He further added, “Even after the recent militant attack in Pahelgaon, we acted responsibly and with restraint. Contrary to the misinformation spread by Pakistan, India’s actions were measured and deliberate.”
Indian Army Colonel Sophia Qureshi dismissed several of Pakistan’s claims as “baseless.”
She said, “Pakistan’s claims that their JF-17 fighter jets damaged India’s S-400 air defense system and BrahMos missile bases are completely false. Additionally, their accusation that Indian forces attacked religious sites is also baseless and misleading.”
She emphasized, “Our armed forces fully respect the secular values enshrined in India’s constitution. We have inflicted severe damage on Pakistan’s military infrastructure, and there will be no compromise on protecting India’s sovereignty.”
Indian Air Force Wing Commander Bhoomika Singh stated that in response to Pakistan’s recent aggressive activities, India carried out limited and targeted operations, focusing only on militant launchpads and anti-India infrastructure.
She said, “Pakistan’s air defense systems and key airbases have been severely damaged. Their losses have reached a level they can no longer sustain.”
The new ceasefire between the two countries came into effect at 5 PM. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Mishra stated that the decision was reached through discussions between the Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries.
He mentioned that Pakistan initiated the talks, after which both sides instructed their forces to maintain the ceasefire along land, air, and maritime borders.
It has been learned that another DGMO-level meeting will take place at noon on May 12, signaling potential future diplomatic dialogue.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that the United States played a mediating role in de-escalating military tensions in South Asia, a rare occurrence in the region’s recent history.
