J&K ceasefire: Watch local residents' reaction to India-Pakistan agreement
Days after armies of India and Pakistan announced a strict adherence to a ceasefire at the contested border, residents of villages in the area heaved a sigh of relief.
People welcomed the lull in violence, recounting how the indiscriminate firing from the Pakistani side had led to loss of life and limb.
People are finally able to go about their business with full freedom, locals said.
The Bannu military cantonment in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, located over 330 km east of Islamabad, came under a severe attack early on Monday (July 15). The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.
