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.
In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions.
