Pakistan violates ceasefire at LoC, Indian forces retaliate

Three days after the Pahalgam terror attack, the Pakistan Army fired from multiple posts along the Line of Control (LoC) throughout the night, violating the ceasefire, according to sources. In return, the Indian forces retaliated.

So far, no casualties have been reported on the Indian side.

“The Pakistani Army fired small arms along the border. Our troops responded. Further details are being ascertained. There have been no casualties,” an official told India Today.

Encounter in Bandipora

Meanwhile, an encounter between terrorists and security forces was underway in Jammu and Kashmir’s Bandipora district.

Security forces had launched a cordon and search operation in the Kulnar Bazipora area of Bandipora after receiving information about the presence of militants in the region.

The operation turned into an encounter when the militants opened fire on the security personnel.

The exchange of fire occurred just days after a terror attack by Pakistani terrorists on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 civilians.

The suspected Pakistani involvement in the terror attack has triggered fresh tensions between India and Pakistan.

In response to what India has described as “cross-border links” to the attack, the government has taken a series of strong measures — including expelling Pakistani military attachés, suspending the six-decade-old Indus Waters Treaty, and immediately shutting down the Attari land transit post.

The Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-tayyaba’s proxy group, The Resistance Front, has claimed responsibility for the terror attack.

India on Thursday officially informed Pakistan that the decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, takes effect immediately.

In a letter to Pakistan’s Water Resources Secretary Syed Ali Murtuza, India’s Ministry of Water Resources said, “Respecting a treaty in good faith is essential. But instead, we have seen continuous cross-border terrorism by Pakistan targeting Jammu and Kashmir.”
