Indian Army responds effectively to ceasefire violations by Pakistan army

The Indian Army responded effectively to the Pakistan Army’s unprovoked small arms firing across the Line of Control (Loc) on the night of April 27-28 in areas opposite Kupwara and Poonch districts in Jammu and Kashmir (J-K), officials said.

According to officials, the Indian troops responded swiftly and effectively to the unprovoked small arms firing by the Pakistan Army.

More details awaited.

Earlier, the Indian Army responded effectively to the Pakistan Army firing along the LoC on the night of April 26-27 in areas opposite the Tutmari Gali and Rampur sectors, as per officials.

The Indian Army said its own troops responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire.

“On the night of 26-27 April 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control in the areas opposite Tutmari Gali and Rampur Sectors. Own troops responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire,” the Indian Army said.
