The Indian Army reported  that the Pakistan Army has continued its pattern of unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control (LoC) for the fifth consecutive day, in the areas close to the LoC in Kupwara, Baramulla, and Akhnoor. During the night of April 28-29, 2025, the Pakistan Army initiated small arms firing in areas opposite to the Kupwara and Baramulla districts, as well as in the Akhnoor sector.

In response to these provocations, the Indian Army acted with restraint and effectiveness, ensuring the safety and security of its positions along the LoC. This escalation in ceasefire violations comes in the wake of a recent terrorist attack on tourists in Baisaran. The Indian Army is closely monitoring activities across the LoC in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to thwart any potential infiltration attempts by terrorists and neutralize threats posed by enemy forces.
