In a significant escalation of tensions, Pakistani forces opened fire at the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch last night around 10:50 PM. The Indian Army responded with speculative rounds to rule out any potential infiltration of terrorists. This exchange of fire highlights the fragile nature of the ceasefire between the two nations.
Following the incident, Indian troops have been placed on the highest alert along the LoC to prevent any further attempts at infiltration or provocation.
This latest episode is a stark reminder of ongoing challenges despite the ceasefire agreement reached on February 25, 2021, between Indian and Pakistani forces. Despite the agreement, Pakistan continues attempts to push terrorists and drugs into India through various means. Moreover, there have been multiple violations of the ceasefire by Pakistani forces, raising concerns about the lasting impact of these agreements and the need for continuous vigilance along the border.
