Pakistan Army Crosses Line of Control, Opens Fire on Indian Posts; India Retaliates

he Pakistan Army intruded into Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Tuesday, violating the ceasefire agreement between the two nations. The breach occurred at 1:10 PM, prompting the Indian troops to respond with a "controlled and calibrated" retaliation.

An Indian Army official stated that the Nangi Tekri Battalion, operating under the Krishna Ghati Brigade, responded decisively to the unprovoked attack by the Pakistan Army.

On April 1, 2025, a mine blast occurred in the Krishna Ghati sector following an intrusion by the Pakistan Army across the Line of Control (LoC). This was followed by unprovoked firing and a ceasefire violation by Pakistani forces.

An Indian Army official stated that Indian troops responded effectively in a controlled and calibrated manner. The situation remains under control and is being closely monitored.

The official further emphasized the importance of upholding the 2021 DGsMO (Director Generals of Military Operations) agreement to maintain peace along the LoC.

Ceasefire violations along the Jammu and Kashmir border have been rare since India and Pakistan renewed their agreement on February 25, 2021.
