JAMMU/SRINAGAR, May 2 — Pakistani troops continued unprovoked firing for the eighth consecutive night along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) in five districts of Jammu and Kashmir, according to officials on Thursday. The Indian Army responded with retaliatory fire.
The sustained ceasefire violations come amid rising tensions following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives.
In response to the recurring hostilities, residents in border areas have begun clearing out and preparing their bunkers, both community and private, in anticipation of potential shelling.
