The firings come amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack. After the massacre of 26 civilians vacationing in Jammu and Kashmir, India has ordered Pakistanis to return to their homeland and suspended the crucial Indus Water Treaty.
Pakistan has also suspended all bilateral agreements with Indian. Repeated ceasefire violations from Pakistan’s side along the Line of Control have also begun in an attempt to provoke the Indian troops. The Indian side has retaliated effectively, according to the army. No casualties were reported in the exchange of fire.
The Pahalgam massacre was the deadliest terror attack since the scrapping of Article 370.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had vowed to pursue the terrorists to the ends of the earth, said this morning that every Indian’s blood is boiling after the terror attack. Each one of them is feeling the pain of those who lost their own in the terror attack, he said in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio broadcast.
“Peace was returning to Kashmir, but the enemies of the country, of Jammu and Kashmir, did not like this,” he added.
