NEW DELHI: The Indian Army said that Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire agreement at Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir 's Poonch on Tuesday and did " unprovoked firing ".
The Indian Army did not report any casualties on the Pakistan side, but official sources said that five enemy soldiers were injured in the explosion and subsequent exchange of fire.
"On 01 April 2025, a mine blast occurred in Krishna Ghati Sector due to Pakistan Army intrusion across LoC. This was followed by unprovoked firing and ceasefire violation by Pakistan Army," Jammu-based defence PRO Lt Col Suneel Bartwal said.
He added that the Indian troops responded in a controlled way and the situation had been taken under control as the area continues to remain under observation.
"Own troops responded effectively in a controlled and calibrated manner. Situation is under control and being closely monitored," he said.
He emphasized the Indian Army's commitment to maintaining peace along the LoC by adhering to the 2021 DGsMO understanding.
This comes only a month after Pakistani soldiers breached the ceasefire in the same region. Security sources had suspected that the attack was aimed to facilitate terrorist infiltration under cover fire.
Despite an agreement for the strict observance of peace and ceasefire accords, Pakistan has repeatedly violated the pact. Notable breaches include the September 11 incident, where cross-border gunfire killed a BSF trooper in Jammu's Akhnoor sector, and another violation in November 2023, when Pakistan Rangers fatally shot an Indian soldier in Samba.
