His comments occurred only one day after India and Pakistan reached a high fire agreement after the mediation conversations led by the United States.

Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai said that the Armed Forces of India, during recent violence, reached nine militant infrastructure and training facilities, including sites of the Lashkar-E-Taiba group that India guilt for carrying out large militant strikes in India and the disputed Kashmir region.

There was no way of independently verifying these statements.

“We achieved a total surprise,” Ghai said at a press conference in New Delhi, adding that Pakistan’s response was “erratic and shaking.”

The two countries He agreed a truce On Saturday after conversations with high -ranking US officials to calm the most serious military confrontation between them. But the high fire shook only a few hours later, fighting during the night in dispute, and both parties accused each other to repeatedly violate the agreement. The drones were also seen on Saturday night on Kashmir administered by India and the western state of Gujarat, according to Indian officials.

India’s Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri, said on Saturday night that “there were repeated violations of the understanding between the two countries” on the fire and accused of Pakistan of violating the agreement.

“We call Pakistan to take the appropriate measures to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility,” he said at a press conference in New Delhi. Misri said the Indian army was “retaliation” for what he called a “border intrusion.” In a shared statement on social networks, the head of personnel of the Army of India granted the commanders of the Army full authority to “counteract” any violation of the agreement.

The Pakistan Foreign Ministry blamed the Indian forces for initially violating the fire and said that Pakistan was committed to his agreement.

“We believe that any problem in the implementation without problems of high fire should be addressed through communication at the appropriate levels,” said the ministry.

The escalation in violence began last week after a massacre of tourists in Kashmir administered by India. India blamed the attack against Pakistan, which denied any participation.

As part of the high fire, neighbors with nuclear weapons agreed to immediately stop all military actions on land, in the air and in the sea.

People on both sides of the control line, which divides the territory, reported large fire exchanges between Indian and Pakistani troops. The fight decreased on Sunday morning.

In the Poonch of Kashmir area administered by India, people said that the intense bombardment of recent days had traumatized them.

“Most people ran when shells shot,” said University student Sosan Zehra, who returned home on Sunday. “It was completely chaotic.”

In the Neelum Valley in Cashmiro administered by Pakistan, which is 2 miles from the control line, the residents said there were fire exchanges and heavy bombing after the fire began.

“We were happy with the announcement, but, once again, the situation feels uncertain,” said Mohammad Zahid.

The president of the United States, Trump was the first to publish on the agreement of Alto El Fuego, announcing on his real social platform. Indian and Pakistani officials confirmed the news shortly after.

Pakistan thanked the United States, and especially Mr. Trump, several times for facilitating fire.

India has not said anything about Mr. Trump or the United States since the agreement was announced. The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, presided over a meeting on Sunday with senior government and military officials.

A UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Sunday that Secretary General Antonio Guterres welcomed the agreement as a positive step to relieve tensions.

“He hopes that the agreement will contribute to lasting peace and foster an environment conducive to addressing broader and long -standing problems between the two countries,” Dujarric said.

The main military officials of India and Pakistan are scheduled to speak on Monday.

India and Pakistan have fought daily since Wednesday throughout the robust and mountainous control line, which is marked by razor wire, surveillance towers and bunkers that wind over the foothills populated by villages, tangled shrubs and forests.

They have routinely blamed the other for starting skirmishes, while insisting that they were only taking reprisals.

Kashmira is divided between the two countries and claimed by both. China also claims part of Kashmir, but does not participate in the fight.

India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars on the region and their ties have been molded by conflicts, aggressive diplomacy and mutual suspicions, mainly due to their competitive statements.
