Pakistan Violates Ceasefire for 4th Consecutive Day; Indian Troops Deliver Swift Response

Pakistan Violates Ceasefire: Pakistan continued to violate the ceasefire for the fourth straight day amid tensions on the Line of Control (LoC).

“During the night of 27-28 April 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in areas opposite Kupwara and Poonch districts. Indian troops responded swiftly and effectively,” the defence spokesperson said.

This marks the fourth consecutive night that Pakistani troops have breached the ceasefire and fired on Indian army posts along the LoC. Over the past three nights, Pakistani forces have targeted army posts in the Valley, with the most recent attack extending into the Poonch district.

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 highest level of alertness means troops have been directed to give a befitting reply to any ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops. They have been instructed not to hold back and respond effectively to foil all enemy designs,” the official added.

While the LoC and International Border (IB) had remained calm since India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire in February 2021, the recent uptick in ceasefire violations has raised concerns about the stability of the agreement.

Tensions remain high along the LoC even as security forces intensified anti-terror operations in the Kashmir valley in the aftermath of the Phalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22.

On Saturday, the Pakistan Army fired at several Indian posts along the LoC for the third straight day.

"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 had said in a statement.
