“Pakistan’s Ceasefire Violation Enters 4th Day”

Pakistan violates ceasefire for 4th day, Indian troops give ‘effective and swift’ response

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 LoC in areas opposite Kupwara & Poonch districts.

Indian troops responded swiftly and effectively,” the Indian Army said in a statement.

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.

Houses of three more terrorists razed in J&K

The houses of three more suspected terrorists were demolished by security personnel in South Kashmir, taking the number to nine since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, officials told HT on Sunday.

The houses of Adnan Shafi Dar in Zainapora area of Shopian,

Amir Nazir in Daramdora area of Pulwama, and Jameel Ahmad in Naz Colony area of Bandipora were demolished.

New Delhi has announced a raft of retaliatory steps,

including the cancellation of visas and the suspension of the 1960s Indus Water Treaty.

Pakistan too responded by putting the 1972 Shimla Agreement in abeyance and closing its airspace for Indian carriers.

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister

Omar Abdullah on Sunday supported decisive fight against terrorism and its origin but cautioned against any “misplaced action that alienates people who have voiced their concerns over innocent killings”.

“After the Pahalgam terror attack, there must be a decisive fight against terrorism and its origin.

The people of Kashmir have come out openly against terrorism and the murder of innocent people, they did this freely & spontaneously.

It’s time to build on this support and avoid any misplaced action that alienates people.

Punish the guilty, show them no mercy but don’t let innocent people become collateral damage,” Abdullah wrote on X.

Pakistan violates the ceasefire along LoC in Poonch

This was the fourth consecutive night that Pakistan resorted to small-arms fire along the Line of Control (LoC) and came amid heightened tension between New Delhi and Islamabad following last week’s terror attack in Pahalgam.

A defence spokesperson said,

“During the night of April 27-28,

Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in areas opposite Kupwara and Poonch districts.”

Indian troops responded swiftly and effectively, he added.

There were no report of any casualty.

Pakistani Army fired at different Indian positions along the Line of Control (LoC) on Thursday night,

as well as on the intervening nights of April 25-26 and April 26-27, each time meeting with appropriate response.

The Pakistan military has been put on high alert following India’s assertion that it would hunt down the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam strike.

In view of the cross-border linkages to the Pahalgam attack,

India last Wednesday announced a raft of punitive measures, including the suspension of the 65-year-old Indus Waters Treaty,

closing of the Attari land-border crossing and the expulsion of Pakistani military attaches.

New Delhi also asked all Pakistanis who entered the country via the Attari land border to leave by May 1.

In its response, Pakistan on Thursday announced shutting its airspace to all Indian airlines and suspended trade with New Delhi, including through third countries.

Pakistan also rejected India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and said any measures to stop the flow of water belonging to Pakistan under the pact would be seen as an “act of war”.

Amid nationwide outrage over the Pahalgam attack,

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the killers would be pursued

“to the ends of the earth” as he promised to “identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers”.
