Pakistan Army breached the border ceasefire for continuous seventh night and resorted to unprovoked small-arms fire on army posts during the preceding night across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
“During the night of 30 April-01 May 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small-arms fire across the Line of Control opposite Kupwara, Uri and Akhnoor in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. These were responded proportionately by the Indian Army,” Army said.
The ceasefire violations along the LoC have been on the rise since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 25 tourists and a local resident.
The latest cycle of ceasefire violations began on the night of April 24–25 in the Nowgam sector of Kupwara district and steadily intensified over the following days.
On April 25–26, Pakistani troops opened fire across multiple sectors along the Kashmir LoC.
The violations escalated further between April 26–27, with Indian positions targeted opposite Tutmari Gali in Nowgam and Rampur in the Boniyar Uri area of Baramulla.
Ceasefire breaches were again reported in Kupwara and Poonch districts on April 27–28, followed by continued hostilities in Kupwara, Baramulla, and Akhnoor between April 28–29.
The most widespread firing occurred on the night of April 29–30, when Pakistani troops initiated unprovoked small-arms fire from across the LoC in Naushera, Sunderbani, Akhnoor, Baramulla, and Kupwara, as well as across the International Border in the Pargwal sector of Jammu.
