Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night on Wednesday by opening unprovoked fire along the Line of Control near Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army responded firmly to Pakistan’s provocations.
This came a day after India warned Pakistan over repeated ceasefire breaches, amid growing tensions following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
India condemned Pakistan’s unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, as military officials from both sides spoke on the hotline amid rising tensions from the Pahalgam attack.
Pakistan has been violating the ceasefire since Friday night, with firing on the Indian side of the LoC. The Indian Army has responded appropriately, according to military sources.
The conversation between the directors general of military operations (DGMOs) took place on Tuesday as India considers its response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people.
Initially, the ceasefire violations were limited to the LoC. However, the situation escalated when Pakistani forces fired along the International Border in the Pargwal sector of Jammu late Tuesday.
This is a developing story.
