Pahalgam terror attack: Indian Army hits back as Pak violates LoC ceasefire for third consecutive night

Pakistan Army carried out unprovoked small arms firing at Indian positions across the Line of Control again on Saturday night, responded 'appropriately' by the Indian Army. Pakistan is violating the ceasefire along the LoC for the third consecutive night since the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. 

 

According to Army authorities, the Pakistan Army carried out unprovoked small arms firing at two main sectors along the LoC on the intervening night of April 26 and 27. "On the night of 26th-27th April 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control in the areas opposite Tutmari Gali and Rampur sectors. Our troops responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire," ANI reported quoting the Indian Army.

 

Pakistan has been resorting to unprovoked fire at Indian positions along the LoC amidst heightened tensions between the countries in the aftermath of the tragic terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in which 26 persons were killed. No casualties have been reported in the cross-border firing. 

 

Sources say Pakistani troops could be checking their Indian counterparts’ preparedness in the backdrop of the escalation in tensions between the two countries post the April 22 terrorist attack. The development comes as India and Pakistan have announced series of diplomatic measures against each other in the aftermath of the attacks.

 

Meanwhile, security forces have launched a massive crackdown on terrorists and terror associates in Jammu and Kashmir. Reportedly, residences of at least five terrorists got 'destroyed' in 'explosion' and hundreds have been detained in connection with the probe into the Pahalgam attack.
