A ceasefire agreed between India and Pakistan appears to be holding, with both sides stressing their commitment to the surprise truce which halted the worst fighting in decades between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Residents and officials in the disputed Kashmir region say there was overnight border fighting between Pakistani and Indian troops, despite a ceasefire to stop a conflict between the two countries.

Fighting and explosions in Indian Kashmir that came hours after the countries declared a ceasefire died down by dawn, and power was restored in most border areas in India after a blackout on Saturday night.
