LIVE News: Pakistan violates ceasefire along LoC, India retaliates amid rising tensions
The Pakistani military carried out unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on the night of April 25–26, prompting a firm response from Indian troops, military sources said on Saturday. This marked the second consecutive night of cross-border firing, following a similar incident on Thursday. Several Pakistan Army posts engaged in small arms fire targeting Indian positions along the LoC. 'Indian troops responded appropriately with small arms,' one of the sources said, adding that no casualties were reported on the Indian side. The exchanges come amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians. The attack, for which The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility, has sharply escalated hostilities between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. In the wake of the attack, India has vowed to track down and eliminate those responsible. In response, Pakistan's military has been placed on high alert. While there has been no official statement from the Ministry of Defence, the ongoing exchange of fire signals a further deterioration in bilateral ties. Earlier, the houses of two suspects involved in the Pahalgam terror attack were demolished by security forces and Jammu and Kashmir authorities, officials said. Zakir Ahmad Ganie's house in Kulgam district was razed on Saturday. He has reportedly been active since 2023.

He has been declared most wanted, with a ₹20 lakh reward announced for information.

The attack occurred in Baisaran Meadow, a scenic area located approximately 7 km from the resort town of Pahalgam, known for its natural beauty and tranquil environment.

Despite a strong security presence in the region, including multiple checkpoints and armed patrols, the attackers managed to breach defenses and unleash chaos in what should have been a peaceful tourist haven.
