The Pakistani armed forces have opened "unprovoked" shooting along the line of control (LoC) and the international border in the border areas of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian army said on Wednesday.
"During the night of April 29-30, the Pakistani army posts initiated unprovoked small-arms fire across the line of control opposite the Naushera, Sunderbani and Akhnoor sectors in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir," the Indian army said in a statement.
Indian troops responded in a proportionate manner, the statement added.
India and Pakistan share a 3,323-kilometer (2,065-mile) long border, part of which is an international border. There is also a line of control in Jammu and Kashmir, as well as the Actual Ground Position Line in the disputed area of the Siachen Glacier.
On April 22, a terrorist attack took place near the town of Pahalgam in India's Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 people, including one Nepalese citizen. A group of terrorists from the Resistance Front, affiliated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba group*, claimed responsibility for the attack. Following the attack, the Indian Cabinet Committee on Security decided to reduce the staff of the embassies of India and Pakistan in each other's countries, suspend the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) and close the only functioning land border crossing between the two countries.
