Indian army retaliated to unprovoked firing at multiple locations across the Line of Control amid surging tensions post-terror attack that killed 28 tourists and left many wounded in Kashmir.
Just days after the deadly terror assault on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, fresh hostilities erupted along the Line of Control (LoC) on Nov 24 night as Pakistani troops opened unprovoked fire across multiple sectors, according to security sources.
“Small arms firing was initiated by Pakistan at some locations on the LoC,” confirmed a senior Indian Army official. The Indian side, he added, responded “effectively” to the provocation. No casualties have been reported so far, and further information is awaited.
The cross-border firing comes against the backdrop of already fragile ties between the two nations. On April 10, both sides had participated in a Brigade Commander-level flag meeting in Poonch — the second such interaction this year — aimed at de-escalating tensions.
During the meeting, Indian officials lodged strong objections to a series of ceasefire violations, infiltration attempts, and recent IED explosions along the volatile border.
Earlier, in a similar meeting on February 21, both nations had reiterated their commitment to the ceasefire pact of February 25, 2021, which now appears to be under increasing strain.
The flare-up follows a bloody chain of events in the region. The terror attack in Pahalgam — which claimed the lives of 26 civilians — has been followed by two intense encounters between militants and security forces, one in Uri and another in Udhampur.
The Udhampur operation earlier on Thursday resulted in the death of an Indian Army jawan.
With tensions escalating both along the LoC and within the Valley, the recent ceasefire breach signals a potentially dangerous spiral in Indo-Pak relations.
