What we covered here

• Ceasefire holds: A ceasefire between India and Pakistan appears to be holding on Sunday despite accusations of violations by both sides. Explosions rocked several parts of Kashmir hours after the truce was announced on Saturday, but both countries have reiterated their commitment to the agreement.

• Overnight diplomacy: US President Donald Trump said a night of talks mediated by Washington helped secure the deal, after the White House received alarming intelligence on the conflict, according to US sources. Trump says he’s “proud” of the US role bringing the fighting to an end — although India has downplayed US involvement in the talks.

• Kashmir massacre: Tensions ratcheted up between the neighboring states after a massacre of tourists last month in Indian-controlled Kashmir. India blamed Pakistan for the attack and launched “Operation Sindoor” Wednesday in both Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Islamabad has denied involvement in the killings.

• Long-running conflict: Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan each control parts of Kashmir but claim it in full and have fought three wars over the territory.

India’s military says it downed “a few” Pakistani planes during conflict

India’s military says it downed “a few” Pakistani aircraft during its conflict with Islamabad, although it says it couldn’t give exact numbers as the wreckage of the planes had fallen outside India’s border.

“Their planes were prevented from coming inside our border so we do not have the wreckage with us but definitely we have downed a few planes,” India’s Director General of Military Operations (DMGO) Rajiv Ghai said in a briefing Sunday.

He said that the country’s military are still exploring the “technical details.”

Ghai added that the Pakistan army is reported to have lost approximately 35 to 40 personnel in artillery and small arms firing on the Line of Control (LoC) – the de facto border separating Indian- and Pakistan-administered Kashmir – between the 7th and 10th of May.

India lost five military personnel, he said.

According to Ghai, “over 100 terrorists were killed by Indian operations.”

CNN cannot verify the claims. Pakistan has previously claimed to have shot down five Indian jets.

Locals in Pakistan-administered Kashmir remain skeptical over ceasefire

From CNN’s Immad Ud Din

In Pakistan-administered Kashmir, locals who have endured restless nights along the Line of Control (LoC) – a flashpoint area in the recent hostilities between Islamabad and New Delhi – remain skeptical about the ceasefire which on Saturday brought an abrupt end to the conflict.

Mian Mehboob ul Hassan, a resident of Leepa Valley on the Line of Control (LoC), told CNN that India had a “bad track record” of sticking to ceasefires in the past.

However, he welcomed the cessation in hostilities and said it offered both sides a “privilege.”

Farooq Haider Khan, the former prime minister of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, similarly said he believed the truce would only be temporary. He told CNN that India had not respected ceasefires in previous conflicts.

Despite accusations of violations from both sides, the truce announced Saturday appears to be holding.
