The Pakistan Army violated ceasefire along the Line of Control for the eighth consecutive night on Thursday, forcing Indian troops to respond in a "proportionate manner". Pakistan troops have been carrying out unprovoked firing at Indian posts since the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack.
According to Indian Army officials, Pakistan Army troops carried out unprovoked firing and fired at Indian posts in five sectors along LoC. "During the night of 01-02 May 2025, Pakistan Army posts resorted to unprovoked small arms firing from posts across the Line of Control opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Naushera, and Akhnoor areas of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Indian Army troops responded in a calibrated and proportionate manner," officials said.
Pakistan Army's unprovoked firing continues unabated despite a stern warning from India during recent conversation between the directors general of military operations of both nations. The DGMOs spoke on the hotline on Tuesday amid heightened tensions between the neighbouring countries over the Pahalgam terror attack.
Sources in the know of the developments said the Indian DGMO strongly took up the matter of ceasefire violations by the Pakistan military. Pakistan forces are on high alert as India has vowed to avenge the killings of 26 persons in the gruesome attack on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Pakistan military has been put on high alert following India's assertion that it will hunt down the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam strike.
In a recent high-level meeting with the defence brass, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that the armed forces have "complete operational freedom" to decide on the mode, targets and timing of India's response to the terror attack.
