Jammu, May 6: Pakistani troops continued to violate the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, resorted to firing in many areas and indicated a strong and calibrated reaction from the Indian Army.
It marks the 12th consecutive consecutive day after the death of 26 in Pahgam after the April 22 terror attack between India and Pakistan.
“During the night of 5-6 May, the Pakistan Army began a fire of small weapons in the LoC in the opposite areas of Kupwala, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mehar, Naushera, Sundarbani and Akhanur,” said a defense spokesperson in Jammu.
“The Indian Army immediately and proportionally responded,” he said.
Firing exchanges are taking place in five districts of seven border districts of Jammu and Kashmir. So far, no firing has been reported along the international border in Samba and Katua districts.

However, the land conditions have deteriorated significantly, with ceasefire criteria regularly exploded by Pakistani forces.
