Pakistan violates ceasefire along LoC, Indian Army retaliates | India News

SRINAGAR: Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the second consecutive evening and resorted to unprovoked firing throughout a number of areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir late Friday. The Indian Army retaliated successfully, with no accidents to its personnel.
“On the night of April 25-26, unprovoked small (arms) firing was carried out by multiple Pakistan army posts all across the LoC in Kashmir,” the Army stated in an announcement Saturday.
The recent breaches of truce observe a slew of measures adopted by India within the aftermath of the Pahalgam assault during which terrorists gunned down 26 civilians — most of them vacationers — in Baisaran meadow. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the proscribed Pakistan-based outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, had claimed duty for the bloodbath.
In the wake of the Pahalgam strike, Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi had assessed the safety state of affairs in J&Okay on Friday. The Commander of the Srinagar-based 15 Corps had briefed him concerning the present safety situation, together with Pakistan’s ceasefire violations in north Kashmir and different areas along the LoC, in addition to Indian Army’s measured response. The similar day, Gen Dwivedi attended a gathering chaired by J&Okay Lt Guv Manoj Sinha, which reviewed the safety mechanisms in place, varied short-term and long-term measures, in addition to integration and coordination amongst safety businesses.
