Srinagar was jolted by loud explosions on Saturday evening, just hours after India and Pakistan formally agreed to a ceasefire. The sudden blasts prompted Jammu and Kashmir’s former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to question the truce.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in a post on X said he heard some "explosions" in Srinagar. Minutes later, many residents of the city posted visuals on X showing what they claimed was tracer fire by anti-aircraft guns at incoming drones in the night sky.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has voiced strong concerns over the recent cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan, after reports of explosions and air defence activity in Srinagar.
