Multiple explosions were heard in two cities in India-controlled Kashmir hours after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire deal, following the US-led talks to end the most serious military confrontation between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades.
Residents said the loud explosions in Srinagar and Jammu were followed by a blackout.
Omar Abdullah, the region’s top elected official, said in a post on social media: “What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!”
In another post, he said: “This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up.”
Cross-border shelling and gunfire was also reported from at least five places along the Line of Control, a de facto frontier that divides disputed Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
There were no reports of casualties.
