After the Pahalgam attack last week, Pakistan has been resorting to small arms firing at several posts along the LoC. It started from Kupwara and Baramulla districts of north Kashmir.

The exchange of fire expanded to the Poonch sector and subsequently to the Akhnoor sector of the Jammu region. It was followed by small arms firing on several posts along the LoC in the Sunderbani and Naushera sectors of Rajouri district on Tuesday night. Subsequently, it expanded to the Pargwal sector along the International Border in Jammu district on Wednesday.

In Kashmir, officials stated that an alert has been issued in the border areas and security has been tightened in nearby towns. At the border towns, locals fear the ceasefire agreement, which was renewed in 2021, looks fragile and may not hold long.
