Pahalgam aftermath: Pakistan violates ceasefire for fourth consecutive day, Indian army responds 'swiftly, effectively'

Pakistan violated the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) in areas located opposite to Kupwara and Poonch for the fourth consecutive day on Sunday, with tension continuing to escalate between the nuclear-armed neighbours following the April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam town.

The Indian Army said it responded swiftly and effectively following the Pakistani firing.

"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 as quoted by Hindustan Times.

Following the April 22 attack, Indian security forces have intensified actions to nab those behind the strike.

In an attempt to curb terrorism and dismantle its infrastructure, security forces have bombed the houses of several terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir in the past few days.

Baisaran Attack

Jammu and Kashmir had attracted a large number of tourists ever since the Centre scrapped Article 370 in 2019.

On April 22, Pahalgam town's Baisaran Valley echoed with the sounds of gunshots when terrorists shot dead 26 people, mostly non-Muslim tourists, marking one of the deadliest strikes i the Valley in the past five years.

Survivors said the gunmen asked some victims about their religion and demanded they recite Islamic verses. Those who failed or hesitated were shot in the head.

Security officials said at least five terrorists split into smaller groups and attacked three zones in the meadow.

Lasting under ten minutes, the assault left 26 dead, including 25 tourists and a local pony operator.

Two security personnel — from the Navy and the Intelligence Bureau — were also killed.
