The Pakistan Army’s unprotected firing across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir continues for the seventh night, increasing the tension. India responds, while the US called for de-size.
New Delhi:
Pakistan’s army fired small arms across the line of control towards Kupwara, Uri and Akhanur areas in Jammu and Kashmir, violating the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night.
The Indian Army was responded to proportionally.
In the progress of the growing tension since the Pahgam terror attack on 22 April, Pakistan’s forces started unprotected firing along the international border on Wednesday night.
The Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOS) on Tuesday talked about the violation of the ceasefire, later warned the Pakistan Army against unprotected firing, people acquainted with the DGMO dialogue told PTI.
The violation of the ceasefire put a risk of the 2003 ceasefire agreement, in which both sides confirmed the commitment after an increase in tension with the 740 km-Lumb-Laby D-facto limit in February 2021.
These violations also come when US Secretary Marco Rubio encouraged India and Pakistan to reduce tension, assuring the Foreign Minister’s Jaishankar to support Washington in the New Delhi battle against terror.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during a high-level meeting that the armed forces have “complete operational freedom” to make the mode, target and time decisions of India’s response to the terrorist attack.
A day after Pahalgam’s attack, India announced punitive measures including suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of 1960 against Pakistan on 23 April, stopped crossing the only operating land boundary in Attari and downgrade diplomatic relations in view of cross-limit links for the attack. Recently, India shut down its airspace for Pakistan -owned and operated airlines and suspended the social media accounts of Pakistani actors.
In response, Pakistan shut down its airspace to Indian airlines and suspended all trade with India through third countries. Pakistan rejected the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty of India and said that any step to stop the flow of water would be seen as a “war work”.
