New Delhi: It was all quiet on India-Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir, with no reports of any shelling or trading of gunfire after the first-ever ceasefire between the two armies since the outbreak of militancy in the state came into force midnight last night (Nov 25).

"No firing incident has been reported from anywhere along the 778-km line of control (LoC), 198-km international border (IB) and 150-km stretch of the actual ground position line in Siachen since the truce came into effect," an Army spokesman said today (Nov 26).

He said the Army had been told not to target Pakistani troops, even if there were attempts by militants to cross the border.

However, there would be no let up in anti-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir, the spokesman said.

In Islamabad, Pakistan's Defence spokesman Major General Shoukat Sultan said, "The ceasefire is holding. There has been no violation from either side."

There was exchange of fire in some sectors along the LoC till afternoon yesterday, but "guns finally fell silent by midnight last night", he said.

India and Pakistan had yesterday agreed on a ceasefire coinciding with the Eid festival.
