Overview

• The Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control (LoC) on the nights of April 26-27 and April 27-28 in multiple sectors, including Kupwara and Poonch.
• Indian troops responded effectively with calibrated small arms fire, maintaining deterrence and reinforcing security along the LoC.
• Tensions remain high following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people and led to heightened Indian military vigilance and counterterror actions.
• In a coordinated operation, Kulgam Police, the Army, and CRPF arrested two terror associates in south Kashmir, recovering pistols, magazines, and ammunition.
• The arrests and arms seizures highlight intensified efforts to disrupt militant networks and prevent further violence in the region.
