Pakistan violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Monday evening, marking the second such incident in three days. The unprovoked firing by Pakistani troops was met with strong retaliation from the Indian Army, sources said.

This is the second ceasefire violation by Pakistan in three days. On Tuesday, Pakistan resorted to another ceasefire violation following mine blasts at the LoC in Poonch. The Pakistani Army reportedly attempted to push infiltrators across the border while providing them with cover fire. The Indian Army responded swiftly, eliminating the threat.

Sources indicate that the firing was an attempt to push infiltrators into Indian territory under cover fire. Intelligence inputs suggest that Pakistan was trying to send a terrorist Border Action Team (BAT) across the LoC to create unrest in Jammu and Kashmir. However, the alertness of Indian troops thwarted the infiltration bid. According to sources, four to five Pakistani Army personnel were killed in India's retaliatory action.

Following the April 1 ceasefire violation, images surfaced of injured Pakistani soldiers, confirming the impact of India's response. Additionally, pictures of the last rites of Pakistani Army personnel have also emerged, further indicating casualties suffered on their side.

A Pakistani news portal broadcast footage of soldiers paying tribute to personnel killed in India's retaliatory strike, further corroborating reports that multiple Pakistani Army personnel were eliminated in the April 1 attack.
