Srinagar, May 3: The post-to-post small arms firing between India and Pakistani troops continued in different sectors along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir for the ninth consecutive night, officials said on Saturday.
However, there has been no casualty in the border skirmishes initiated by Pakistan troops in violation of the ceasefire agreement, they said.
This was the ninth consecutive night of unprovoked firing from across the border, which had mostly been restricted to LoC. There was only one incident of firing along the International Border (IB).
“During the night of 02-03, May 2025, Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small-arms fire across the Line of Control opposite the Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor areas of the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir,” an official said, adding that Indian Army responded promptly and proportionately.
Since the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, Pakistani troops have violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir for nine consecutive nights, totalling approximately 25–30 incidents. These violations occurred across multiple sectors, including Poonch, Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Akhnoor, Naushera, Sunderbani, Tangdhar, Tutmari Gali, Rampur and the Pargwal sector along the International Border.
The Indian Army responded proportionately, with no casualties reported, amid heightened tensions following the attack. (KNO)
