Indian Army effectively retaliates to unprovoked small arms firing by Pakistan across LoC in J&K

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], May 2 (ANI): The Indian Army has effectively responded to the Pakistan Army’s unprovoked small arms firing across the Line of Control (LoC) on the night of May 1-2 in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla and Poonch districts, as well as in the Nowshera and Akhnoor sectors in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), officials said.

According to the Indian Army, the troops responded in a calibrated and proportionate manner to the unprovoked small arms firing by the Pakistan Army.
This is the eighth consecutive day of India’s effective retaliation since the Pakistan Army’s unprovoked small arms firing on the night of April 25-26.

Earlier, the Indian Army effectively responded to Pakistan’s small arms firing across the LoC in Kupwara district as well as in the Uri and Akhnoor sectors in the region.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Director General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan talked over the hotline to discuss the unprovoked ceasefire violations by Pakistan, as per defence sources.

Sources said India warned Pakistan against the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border.
On Wednesday India closed its airspace to all aircraft registered in Pakistan and those operated by Pakistani airlines, according to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA), another major step following the April 22 terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam in which 26 people lost their lives.

India issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), confirming the closure of its airspace to all Pakistani-registered, operated or leased aircraft, including military flights, from April 30 to May 23 (estimated duration).
