Army says no ceasefire violation along LoC
"There have been some media and social media reports regarding ceasefire violation in Poonch region. It is clarified that there has been no ceasefire violation along the LoC. Please avoid spreading unverified information," the Army said in a statement here.
Earlier, official sources in Jammu said the Pakistan Army had on Tuesday evening indulged in "unprovoked" firing on forward Indian posts along the LoC, prompting strong retaliation by the Indian Army.
The exchange of small arms firing between the two sides continued for nearly 15 minutes in the Mankote sector but there was no immediate report of any casualties, the sources had said, adding it was the first instance of ceasefire violation since Operation Sindoor.
Indian and Pakistani militaries engaged in intense clashes between May 7 and 10 after India launched missile strikes targeting terror infrastructure across the border under Operation Sindoor to avenge the Pahalgam terror attack.
The border clashes, however, died down after the two countries reached an understanding.
At least 28 persons were killed in Pakistani shelling, missile and drone attacks along the LoC in J-K with 13 of these deaths reported in Poonch district alone.

Letters to The Editor — August 8, 2025
More tariffs For the U.S. President, friendship with India seems to be substantially different from his presidential decisions (Front page, August 7). For all the bonhomie with New Delhi, the U.S. continues to treat India as a secondary power. India may have to accept that Mr. Trump will arm-twist countries to force them to fall in line with his policies. If New Delhi can get the tariff hike postponed it would give it elbow room to manoeuvre. A.V. Narayanan, Chennai Is the U.S. trying to derail India's economic standing? Mere expressions of verbal protest are not enough. The Government of India must respond firmly and decisively. Continued silence could have severe consequences, particularly for Indian businesses. Gulam Rabbani, Bajpatti, Sitamarhi, Bihar While India and the U.S. share a strategic partnership built on mutual respect and shared values, this sort of punitive trade action risks prioritising business interests over the spirit of friendship. The U.S. should choose dialogue that honours both economic realities and the deepening bond between the two nations. Anush D'Cunha S.J., Thiruvananthapuram Nature's warning The 'cloudburst' that wreaked havoc in Uttarkashi's Dharali and Sukhi Top areas is a reminder of the Himalayan region's vulnerability to extreme weather events. The message is clear. The region desperately needs transformation, from reactive responses to proactive resilience building. Only through such an approach can we protect the Himalayan communities while also preserving this ecosystem for future generations. R. Sivakumar, Chennai Deletions, gender disparity How can the Election Commission of India (ECI) ensure free and fair elections in Bihar when there are major issues with deletions and omissions in the electoral rolls?The ECI finds itself in a catch-22 situation. Its actions, once unquestionable, are being questioned by the Opposition and the judiciary. It will be a disaster if the ECI's responses to the Supreme Court's candid observations are not met with concrete replies, evidence and action (Data point, August 7). Balasubramaniam Pavani, Secunderabad On the tomato I write this letter as former Director, Regional Institute of Ophthalmology and Government Ophthalmic Hospital, Chennai. The article, 'The virtues of tomato, a healthy vegetable' ('Science' page, July 27), was descriptive in terms of the health benefits of consuming tomatoes. But as a health-care provider, it is my duty to issue caution against some negative factors in this angel vegetable. Consumption in excess can lead to side-effects in certain individuals. These include acid reflux, allergies, digestive issues and potential kidney problems due to high potassium content. Being rich in calcium and oxalates, the tomato can induce kidney stone formation. The tomato is a nutritious gift from mother nature, but moderation is the key for good health. Dr. M.V.S. Prakash, Chennai
