India-Pakistan Ceasefire Holds Despite Recent Cross-LoC Tensions

Minor ceasefire violations and retaliatory actions reported along the Line of Control, but Indian Army affirms overall stability.

The Indian Army confirmed that the 2021 ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control (LoC) remains intact despite recent isolated incidents of cross-border firing.
Pakistani troops reportedly violated the ceasefire in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch, prompting Indian retaliation that allegedly resulted in significant Pakistani casualties.
The Indian Army has not officially confirmed the extent of damage or casualties on the Pakistani side, though a video circulating online suggests fatalities among Pakistani soldiers.
Tensions have risen following a series of incidents, including an IED explosion in Akhnoor that killed two Indian soldiers and other infiltration attempts across the LoC.
Indian Army leadership has urged heightened vigilance and preparedness along the LoC, emphasizing the need to address infiltration and hostile activities.
