In a disturbing turn of events preceding Republic Day, the Pakistani Army engaged in aggressive firing, directing its onslaught towards an Indian Army post along the Akhnoor International Border. The unprovoked firing emanated from the 05 Punjab Unit of the Pakistan Army, marking a significant provocation and heightening regional tensions.
Swiftly responding to Pakistan’s act of aggression, the Indian Army retaliated in a decisive manner, countering the provocation and sending a stern message in defense of national sovereignty. This latest escalation follows closely on the heels of a thwarted infiltration attempt by Pakistani terrorists in the same sector last month, shedding light on the persistent threats posed by the neighboring adversary.
In response to these developments, the Indian Army Spokesperson Said, “It is just speculative exchange of fire due to fog & poor visibility, which is a normal activity on forward posts. The sector where speculative firing has taken place is primarily IB sector & not LoC for info of all.” Despite this clarification, the incident underscores the fragility of the situation and the potential for heightened hostilities along the international border”.
As the situation unfolds, security forces remain on high alert, with heightened vigilance in the Akhnoor sector to thwart any further acts of aggression.
