After an escalation of their most expansive conflict in decades, India and Pakistan agreed on Saturday to halt the fighting, but reports of violence continued.
India and Pakistan announced a cease-fire on Saturday, after days of the worst fighting in decades between the two nuclear-armed rivals. Some reports of violence on both sides continued.
The cease-fire agreement, which came after four days of missile, drone and artillery strikes, was first announced by President Trump, who cited the role of the United States as a mediator. India disputed that claim.
Despite the announcement, there were indications that the cease-fire was not entirely effective. Cross-border firing was reported in some areas of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian-controlled part of the disputed region. Residents in Barnala, in the part of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan, reporting hearing exchanges of fire along the border dividing the disputed region.
Some of the heaviest fighting took place earlier on Saturday. Following two nights of heavy drone activity, both sides appeared to have inflicted heavy damage as they targeted each other’s military bases.
The conflict began after militants killed 26 people in a tourist area on the Indian side of Kashmir last month. India accused Pakistan of being involved in the attack; Pakistan denied that claim.
Here is what to know about the fighting, longstanding tensions between India and Pakistan, the attack in Kashmir and attempts to resolve the conflict.
Pakistani and Indian officials said these sites were targeted by strikes on Saturday. It was not clear how many of the attacks were successful.
