Pakistan’s 10th Day of Ceasefire Violations Crushed by India’s Decisive Action
Pakistan’s persistent aggression reached a new low as it violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) for the 10th consecutive day, targeting Indian posts in Kupwara, Poonch, and Akhnoor with unprovoked small-arms fire.
A Relentless Assault Halted
Pakistan violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) for the 10th consecutive day, unleashing unprovoked small-arms fire on Indian posts in Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Naushera, and Akhnoor sectors. The Indian Army responded with swift, decisive action, delivering a punishing counterattack that neutralized Pakistani positions and inflicted significant damage. This escalation, following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians, underscores Pakistan’s provocative agenda. India’s robust retaliation reaffirms its unwavering commitment to border security.
Context of Pakistan’s Aggression
The ceasefire breaches, intensifying since April 24, are seen as Pakistan’s attempt to distract from its implicated role in the Pahalgam attack, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI operatives like Hashim Musa. Over 65 Indian posts have been targeted in 10 days, with Pakistan’s use of mortars and M110 artillery in Leepa Valley signaling a deliberate escalation. Intelligence suggests these violations aim to cover terrorist infiltrations, particularly in Kupwara’s dense forests. India’s response, bolstered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s grant of operational freedom, has ensured no Indian casualties while disrupting Pakistan’s plans.
India’s Tactical Superiority
The Indian Army, with over 10,000 troops deployed along the LoC, leveraged drones, thermal imaging, and artillery to counter Pakistan’s aggression. The retaliation on May 3-4 targeted Pakistani bunkers, with reports confirming structural damage. The Border Security Force has fortified the International Border, while counter-terror operations in Kashmir, including raids on 36 suspected militant homes, complement the LoC strategy. Home Minister Amit Shah’s directive to pursue every terrorist has intensified India’s multi-pronged approach.
Global and Regional Ramifications
Pakistan’s actions have drawn global condemnation, with only China supporting its call for a “neutral probe” into Pahalgam. The U.S., UN, and Gulf nations advocate de-escalation, while India’s diplomatic offensive isolates Pakistan via forums like the FATF. As Pakistan’s military morale wanes and its economy falters, India’s decisive action on the LoC sends a stern warning: continued provocations will meet unrelenting consequences, safeguarding India’s sovereignty amid rising tensions.
