However, within hours of agreeing to ceasefire, cross-border firing from Pakistan was reported at multiple locations including drone incursions and shelling across Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the Indian Army said that the night remained largely peaceful across across all areas along the International Border, and no incidents of shelling and firing were reported, marking the first calm night in recent days.
