ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI (Reuters) -- Nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire on Saturday after U.S. pressure and four days of fighting, but within hours explosions rang out in border cities and towns and India accused Pakistan of violating the pact.

Artillery fire and attack drones were witnessed in Jammu and Kashmir, the center of much of the fighting, while blasts from air-defense systems boomed in cities under blackout, similar to the previous evening, according to authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses.
