Gunfire has been exchanged in Jammu and Kashmir as New Delhi reports violations along the de facto border
Pakistan has once again violated a ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LOC), Indian Army officials told ANI on Saturday, marking the ninth straight night of cross-border firing.
Tensions have spiked between the two countries following last week’s deadly attack in India’s Jammu and Kashmir federal territory.
According to reports, Pakistani forces opened fire in the Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor sectors of Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir. Indian troops responded swiftly and proportionately, according to a statement cited by the agency.
“During the night of 02-03 May 2025, the Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked small arms fire,” Indian Army officials told ANI. The firing was directed at multiple locations across the de facto border.
The incident comes after a series of alleged nightly violations beginning last week. Other affected areas include Baramulla, Poonch, and Naushera. Indian forces have responded to the violations with what officials described as “measured force.”

India has held Pakistan indirectly responsible, alleging cross-border militant involvement. The Resistance Front, believed to be tied to the Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, initially claimed responsibility for the attack, though later reports indicated that the group distanced itself from it. Islamabad has vehemently denied that it had any role in the attack and has called for an impartial probe.
Police identified three suspects, two of them Pakistani nationals. In response, India has suspended a key water-sharing treaty and closed its airspace to Pakistani aircraft.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif told Reuters that Indian military action is “imminent” and warned that Islamabad is “ready to respond.” He also claimed the Baisaran Valley attack was a “false-flag operation” by India.
Indian officials have not responded directly to the claims, but stated that their military remains prepared to counter any aggression along the LOC.
