Truce Collapses: Pakistan Opens Fire

On May 5, 2025, Pakistan violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) for the 11th consecutive day, with unprovoked firing reported in the Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army retaliated strongly, reportedly inflicting significant casualties, though exact figures remain unconfirmed. These repeated violations follow a terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 24, which killed 26 civilians and has further strained India-Pakistan relations. India holds Pakistan-based militants responsible for the attack, escalating diplomatic tensions. In response, Indian forces remain on high alert, while the international community has urged restraint and renewed dialogue to prevent further escalation in the region.
