Pakistan has violated the bilateral understanding reached this afternoon to immediately stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, government sources said on Saturday night.

This came hours after India announced the understanding following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full scale war.

The sources said firing from the Pakistani side was reported in Akhnoor sector in Jammu and Kashmir. Drones were also seen in the Pir Panjal area.

Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, in a tweet, said, "What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!"

He also added, "This is no ceasefire. The air defence units in the middle of Srinagar just opened up," even as he added videos of projectile flying in Srinagar skies, just hours after political parties from Jammu & Kashmir had welcomed the ceasefire.
