This comes after multiple alerts and blackout protocols were enforced across Barmer, Jaisalmer, Udhampur, Srinagar, and parts of Punjab, with residents advised to stay indoors and avoid panic.
Earlier, Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah expressed concern on social media over explosions heard in Srinagar, questioning the effectiveness of the ceasefire. However, Army sources have now clarified that the shelling has stopped for now and drone threats have been neutralized.
Authorities continue to monitor developments, but no active engagement is underway currently.
