Following the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, Pakistan has escalated tensions by violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC).
Over the past two days, Pakistani troops have targeted Indian positions with small-arms fire in unprovoked assaults.
India’s armed forces responded with strength and precision.
Official sources confirmed that the Indian Army delivered an appropriate and firm reply, signalling its readiness and determination to uphold national security.
Fortunately, the exchange of fire has not resulted in any casualties on the Indian side.
However, reports indicate that similar incidents occurred on Friday, when Pakistani forces once again opened fire across the LoC.
In each case, Indian troops acted swiftly and decisively.
The latest flare-up follows a brutal terrorist attack in Pahalgam, where gunmen opened fire on a group of tourists after reportedly asking their names and religious identities.

This horrific act of targeted violence claimed the lives of 26 individuals and sent shockwaves across the nation.
In the wake of the attack, security forces have launched intensified counter-terror operations across Jammu and Kashmir.
Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi arrived in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday to assess the ground situation.
During his visit, he held strategic meetings with senior military commanders and state security officials.
He also met with the Lieutenant Governor of J&K and reviewed counter-terror strategies with the Director General of Police.
These high-level discussions focused on both immediate and long-term security enhancements.
General Dwivedi inspected key military installations, including the headquarters of Victor Force and 15 Corps.
Commanders provided him with in-depth briefings on the ongoing anti-terror operations.
The Army Chief’s visit highlighted India’s integrated approach to neutralising terrorist threats and dismantling the infrastructure supporting cross-border militancy.
In a bold diplomatic move, the Indian government announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty in direct response to the Pahalgam attack.
This treaty suspension will curtail water supplies from India to Pakistan, exerting considerable pressure on Islamabad.
India has made it clear that the treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan takes credible and verifiable action to curb terrorism on its soil.
During his briefings, General Dwivedi emphasised the need for greater coordination among military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies.
He outlined a strategy to secure long-term peace and stability in the region, reinforcing India’s commitment to defending its borders and safeguarding its citizens.
