In the latest ceasefire violation along the International Border, the Pakistan Army opened unprovoked small arms fire across several locations along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday night. According to officials, the Indian Army responded in a measured and effective manner.
The firings took place in Kupwara and Baramulla districts, as well as the Akhnoor sector, marking the fifth consecutive day of ceasefire breaches by Pakistan amid heightened tensions following the Pahalgam terror attacks, where Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 people.
"During the night of 28-29 April 2025, the Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small arms firing across the Line of Control in areas opposite Kupwara and Baramulla districts, as well as the Akhnoor sector. The Indian Army responded in a measured and effective manner to the provocation," the Indian Army said in a statement.
India-Pakistan tensions
Tensions along the LoC remain high as security forces have stepped up anti-terror operations in the Kashmir Valley following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed 26 lives.
On the night of April 26–27, the Indian Army effectively responded to firing by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC), targeting areas opposite the Tutmari Gali and Rampur sectors. On Monday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi to brief him on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and the military’s preparedness in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Their 40-minute meeting came just hours after the Pakistan Army fired on several Indian posts along the LoC. In response to the Pahalgam attack, India has taken a series of firm measures, including the suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty and the immediate closure of the Integrated Check Post at Attari.
The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met at the Prime Minister’s residence last evening to review the situation and directed all forces to maintain heightened vigilance.
