Pakistan troops open fire at Indian post along LoC in J&K again, Indian Army retaliates
The Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed yet another ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops, with reports emerging that they opened small arms fire at an Indian post in Poonch district on Sunday morning. The Indian Army, in response, retaliated with equal force, ensuring that no Indian soldiers were injured in the exchange.
This latest incident marks the second ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops in the region within a span of just four days. On Wednesday, Pakistan troops had fired at an Indian post along the LoC, prompting a swift response from the Indian Army.
According to reports, the Pakistani troops opened fire at the Indian post in Poonch around 11 am on Sunday. The Indian Army, however, was quick to respond, retaliating with small arms and other weapons to silence the Pakistani guns.
“In the morning, Pakistan troops opened small arms fire at an Indian post along the LoC in Poonch. The fire was retaliated appropriately by the Indian Army. No casualties to own side,” said Army officials, quoted by ANI.
The ceasefire violation comes at a time when tensions between India and Pakistan are already running high. The two countries have been engaged in a bitter standoff along the LoC since the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
The latest incident is being seen as a clear violation of the 2003 ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, under which both sides agreed to maintain peace and tranquility along the LoC.
The Indian government has repeatedly accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire agreement and engaging in cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan, on the other hand, has been denying all allegations of ceasefire violations and terrorism.
The LoC has been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. The two countries have fought three wars over the region, with the most recent being the Kargil War in 1999.
In recent years, the LoC has witnessed a significant increase in ceasefire violations, with both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement. The Indian Army has been on high alert along the LoC, with troops and equipment deployed to respond to any Pakistani aggression.
The latest ceasefire violation has raised concerns about the safety and security of Indian soldiers along the LoC. The Indian government has been urging Pakistan to respect the ceasefire agreement and maintain peace and tranquility along the border.
In the meantime, the Indian Army remains vigilant and ready to respond to any Pakistani aggression. The troops along the LoC are on high alert, with orders to respond swiftly and decisively to any ceasefire violation.
As the situation along the LoC remains tense, it is clear that the Indian Army will not hesitate to take strong action against Pakistani troops if they continue to violate the ceasefire agreement. The Indian government has already made it clear that it will not tolerate any ceasefire violations and will take all necessary measures to protect its soldiers and citizens.
In conclusion, the latest ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops along the LoC is a clear indication of their intention to continue to engage in aggression and terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army, however, is well-equipped and prepared to respond to any Pakistani aggression, ensuring the safety and security of Indian soldiers and citizens.
