Since India and Pakistan renewed their ceasefire agreement on February 25, 2021, ceasefire violations along the Loc and International Border (IB) have been extremely rare.
The Pakistani forces continued to fire unprovoked small arms in various sectors along Jammu and Kashmir Control (LOC), urging effective retaliation by the Indian forces, officials said.
Pakistan’s ceasefire violations were reported from eight locations spread across five districts of the Union Territory on Saturday and Sunday’s night of intervention, but no reports of casualties were reported, officials said.
This was the 10th consecutive night of unprovoked shots that were fired across the Jammu and Kashmir border after the terrorist attacks on April 22nd in Pahargam.
“On the night of May 3rd and 4th, the Pakistani Army posts resorted to untaunted small weapon fires across the LoC in the area across from Kupuwara, Balamura, Poonch, Rajuli, Mendar, Nowshera, Thunderbani and jk Aqua.
Since India and Pakistan renewed their ceasefire agreement on February 25, 2021, ceasefire violations along the Loc and International Border (IB) have been extremely rare.

Just hours after India halted the Treaty of Indus Waters following the Pahargam terrorist attack on the night of April 24, Pakistani forces have resorted to unprovoked firing at various locations along the JK’s LOC, starting from Kashmir Valley.
Pakistan first opened fire at several posts along the LOC in Kupwara and Balamura districts of North Kashmir, then expanded the ceasefire violations into the Phoenchi sector, and then expanded to the Akh Whole sector in Jammu region.
This was followed by small arms at several posts along the LOC in the Thunderbani and Nowshera divisions in the Rajuli district. The firing subsequently expanded to the borders of Mendar in Poonch district and Pargwar sector in Jammu district.
Despite recent hotline conversations between India and Pakistan’s Military Operations Director (DGMO), new ceasefire violations have occurred.
On April 24, Pakistan blocked Indian Airlines airspace, closed the crossing of the Waga border, halted all trade with India, and warned that attempts to divert water would be considered an “act of war.”
