Paks can't control their jihadi militants.

The Pakistanis have indeed claimed that ever since they first sent jihadis in to conquer Kashmir before Pakistan was separated from India at independence. Granted, they only managed to get partway across before the Indians stopped them, but one of these times the jihadis they’ve financed, equipped, and trained will finally succeed in finishing the job — completely uncontrolled, really.
[Regnum] Several explosions occurred in the capital of the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the city of Srinagar, on the evening of May 10. This was reported by the region's chief minister Omar Abdullah.

The blasts came hours after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire agreement.

"What just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions are heard all over Srinagar," Abdullah wrote on his social media page.

CNN reported that there were “multiple” explosions. ANI reported that drones were seen in the skies over Udhampur. According to these reports, the air defense system was activated and the city’s electricity was cut off.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on May 10, US President Donald Trump said that India and Pakistan, with Washington's mediation, had agreed to a complete ceasefire. The parties confirmed this statement, and the ceasefire came into effect.
And very exciting it was, too, until the parties of the Pakistani part broke it. Mr. Wife, who worked in India once upon a time, thought it might actually last only minutes. I thought they would hold on at least until midnight, to keep President Trump sweet. Mr. Wife won, darn it.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio added that, in addition to the ceasefire, the parties to the conflict also agreed to meet on neutral territory and discuss "a wide range of issues."

The conflict between India and Pakistan began to escalate on April 22, after a terrorist group attacked tourists in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. At least 27 people were killed in the attack. The attackers managed to escape.

On May 6, India launched Operation Sindoor, declaring it was targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. Pakistani authorities said the Indian military had targeted civilian targets.
They did say that, yes. That’s how they define where they park their pet jihadi groups — the traditional Arabic term is ribat, a base to house fighters while they rest and prepare for the next attack to expand the ummah.
There have been several exchanges of fire along the border between the two countries, and there have been reports of dogfights between fighter jets, drone strikes and missile strikes. Both sides have accused each other of attacking civilian targets and have expressed their willingness to stop escalating in the wake of their adversary.

Indian Foreign Ministry Accuses Pakistan of Ceasefire Violation

The Pakistani side violated the agreement with India on establishing a ceasefire, Indian First Deputy Foreign Minister Vikram Misri said on May 10.

"There have been repeated violations of the agreement reached earlier this evening between the Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan in the last two hours," Misri told reporters.

He stressed that the Indian Armed Forces are giving an adequate response to violations. The Indian diplomatic mission called on Pakistan to take appropriate measures to eliminate violations and "treat the situation seriously and responsibly."

Misri added that the Indian Armed Forces "have been instructed to deal decisively with any instance of recurrence of border violations along the international border."

As reported by Regnum news agency, the conflict between India and Pakistan escalated after a terrorist group attacked a group of tourists in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. At least 26 people were killed in the attack.

Two days later, India blocked the flow of the Indus River into Pakistan and expelled Pakistan's military attachés. In turn, Pakistani authorities suspended bilateral agreements with New Delhi, closed Indian airspace, and declared that any attempt to stop or divert the flow of water would be considered an act of war.
