Pakistan violates LoC ceasefire for 9th straight night, Army responds

Srinagar:Pakistani troops continued ceasefire violations along the Line of Control for the ninth consecutive night with its unprovoked firing in Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor areas of Jammu and Kashmir, and the Indian military responded in a calibrated and proportionate manner.

This comes three days after India issued a stern warning to Pakistan over these repeated violations along the Line of Control (LoC) amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam attack.

The Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries had a hotline conversation on Tuesday to address unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Pakistan Army.

Since the night of April 24, just hours after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following the killing of 26 people in the  attack.

On April 24, Pakistan blocked its airspace for Indian airlines, closed the Wagah border crossing, suspended all trade with India, and stated that any attempt to divert water meant for Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty would be considered an “act of war.”

India and Pakistan had agreed to a renewed ceasefire along the borders in Jammu and Kashmir in February 2021.
The situation has changed significantly since February 2021, when the DGMOs of India and Pakistan reiterated their commitment to the 2003 ceasefire agreement to ensure peace along the de facto border.

India shares a total of 3,323 km of border with Pakistan, divided into three parts: the International Border (IB), approximately 2,400 km from Gujarat to the northern banks of the Chenab River in Akhnoor, Jammu; the Line of Control (LoC), 740 km long, running from parts of Jammu to parts of Leh; and the Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL), 110 km long, dividing the Siachen region from NJ 9842 to Indira Col in the north.(Agencies)
