Jammu: Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire for 8th time by resorting to unprovoked small arms firing along the Line of Control in five districts.
'During the night of May 1-2, Pakistan Army posts resorted to unprovoked small arms firing from posts across the Line of Control opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Naushera in Rajouri and Akhnoor in Jammu districts of the Union Territory,' Defence spokesman said on Friday.
"Indian Army troops responded in a calibrated and proportionate manner," he said.
The Pakistan Army carried out unprovoked small arms firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kupwara, Uri and Akhnoor sectors in Jammu and Kashmir, violating ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night on Wednesday.
The Army responded with equal force to the Pak Army firing from across the border.
The latest ceasefire violation happened despite Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan reportedly spoke on hotline on Tuesday.
The frequent ceasefire violations over the last week threatens the February 2021 ceasefire agreement along the 740 km long LoC between the two countries.
Army said last night the posts were targeted opposite Kupwara, Uri in Kashmir and Akhnoor in Jammu.
“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,” Army said.
The ceasefire violations along the LoC have been on the rise since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, including 25 tourists.
The latest cycle of ceasefire violations began on the night of April 24–25 in the Nowgam sector of Kupwara district and steadily intensified over the following days.
On April 25–26, Pakistani troops opened fire across multiple sectors along the Kashmir LoC.
The violations escalated further between April 26–27, with Indian positions targeted opposite Tutmari Gali in Nowgam and Rampur in the Boniyar Uri area of Baramulla.
Ceasefire breaches were again reported in Kupwara and Poonch districts on April 27–28, followed by continued hostilities in Kupwara, Baramulla, and Akhnoor between April 28–29.
The most widespread firing occurred on the night of April 29–30, when Pakistani troops initiated unprovoked small-arms fire from across the LoC in Naushera, Sunderbani, Akhnoor, Baramulla, and Kupwara, as well as across the International Border in the Pargwal sector of Jammu.
