Pakistan Army's unprovoked firing targeting Indian posts across the Line of Control continued unabated for the seventh consecutive night on Thursday. India retaliated "proportionately" to these attacks.
According to Indian Army officials, the Pakistan Army carried out unprovoked small arms firing targeting Indian posts across LoC on the intertwining night of April 30 and May 1. "During the night of 30 April-01 May 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small-arms fire across the Line of Control opposite Kupwara, Uri and Akhnoor in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. These were responded proportionately by the Indian Army," officials told ANI.
Pakistan has been resorting to ceasefire violations along the LoC since the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. As many as 26 persons were killed in the brutal attack in Jammu and Kashmir, the worst attack since the abrogation of Article 370. In the attack, 24 tourists from across the country, a Nepali citizen and a local horse rider were killed by terrorists allegedly linked to LeT.
Pakistan's provocation comes despite India issuing a stern warning on Tuesday against ceasefire violations. Defence sources said the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries talked over the hotline to discuss the situation.
India announced a series of diplomatic measures against Pakistan following the terror attack. India suspended the Indus water treaty, suspended visas for Pakistani nationals, closed the Attari border and declared three defence advisors and their support staff at the Pakistan Embassy in Delhi as Persona Non Grata. India also recalled its defence advisors from its embassy in Islamabad.
