Srinagar, April 27 (NationPress) For the third consecutive day on Sunday, the Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, prompting an appropriate response from the Indian Army.
A spokesperson from the Defence Ministry stated, “During the night of 26-27 April 2025, posts of the Pakistan Army commenced unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in the regions opposite Tutmari Gali and Rampur Sectors. Our troops retaliated effectively with suitable small arms fire.”
On the night of April 25-26, multiple Pakistan Army posts engaged in unprovoked small arms firing along the LoC in Kashmir. Indian forces responded appropriately to these ceasefire violations.
On April 24, the Pakistan Army also engaged in small arms fire at various locations along the LoC, which was effectively retaliated against.
Fortunately, no casualties have been reported during the recent ceasefire violations by Pakistan over the last three days.
The tensions have escalated between the two nations following the tragic event on April 22 in Baisaran meadow of Pahalgam, where Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists, backed by Pakistan, killed 26 innocent civilians, including 25 tourists and a local.
The entire nation expressed outrage over this cowardly act, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the attacks and vowed that the terrorists, along with their sponsors and handlers, would be pursued relentlessly.
In response, J&K Lt Governor Manoj Sinha conducted a security review meeting with Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi in Srinagar on Saturday.
The L-G instructed the Army to utilize whatever force necessary to track down the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack.
On Saturday, two houses were demolished in Ganderbal district, one belonging to a LeT terrorist and the other to a suspected terrorist, following the identification of these structures as possible links to terrorist activities.
The demolition of these houses is part of the ongoing initiatives by security forces to combat terrorism and eliminate potential threats.
To date, five houses associated with terrorists have been demolished across the Valley following the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians on April 22.
