Fresh Ceasefire Violation: India-Pakistan Tensions Flare Again in Jammu and Kashmir
 Tensions resurfaced along the Line of Control (LoC) on Tuesday after <a title="Pakistan" href="https://www.benefitnews24.com/india/india-exposes-pakistan-as-it-takes-unsc-helm/15425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a> Rangers reportedly opened unprovoked fire at <a title="Operation Sindoor" href="https://www.benefitnews24.com/india/india-strikes-back-operation-sindoor-unleashed/11446" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian</a> Army personnel stationed in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir.
According to official sources, the exchange of fire lasted for approximately 15 minutes, with the Indian Army retaliating promptly and effectively. No casualties have been reported on the Indian side so far.
The latest incident is a direct breach of the bilateral ceasefire agreement reinstated in May 2025, following intense military engagement between the two neighbours earlier this year. That truce was seen as a rare diplomatic success amid rising regional hostilities.
This marks the first ceasefire violation since Operation Sindoor was launched by Indian forces on 7 May 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on 22 April, in which 26 civilians were killed by Pakistan-backed militants.
Defence sources told this platform that the firing was deliberate and unprovoked, aimed at Indian forward posts, in violation of agreed protocols. &ldquo;Our troops responded with precision and restraint, ensuring no escalation while safeguarding our territorial integrity,&rdquo; said a senior Indian Army officer.

Notably, a similar provocation took place on 9 May 2025, when Pakistan Rangers opened fire on BSF positions along the International Border (IB) in Jammu. The Border Security Force (BSF) had then issued a statement asserting that they had delivered a &ldquo;commensurate response&rdquo;, inflicting significant damage to Pakistani posts.
This renewed skirmish raises concerns over fragile peace along the LoC and the future of cross-border military confidence-building measures, which had only recently resumed after months of hostility.
Security analysts suggest that such flare-ups could jeopardise the already strained diplomatic engagement between New Delhi and Islamabad, and may lead to retaliatory actions if provocation continues.
