Calm returns to cities in Indian-administered Kashmir as ceasefire holds

May 11, 2025  
There's been a unsettled start to a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

Just a few hours after a truce was announced on Saturday both sides accused each other of violations.

In the last few hours there's been relative calm in both Indian and Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Since Wednesday more than 60 people have been killed.

Al Jazeera’s Umar Mehraj is in Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir, seeing how people are reacting to the truce and Kamal Hyder is in Islamabad, Pakistan with political reaction from there.

Michael Shoebridge, director of think tank Strategic Analysis Australia, says India and Pakistan were ready for a truce, because both sides “feel like they claim victory”.
