Indian, Pakistani Forces Exchange Fire for Second Consecutive Night in Kashmir

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged gunfire overnight along the Line of Control (LoC) in disputed Kashmir for a second straight day, the Indian army said on Saturday, amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

The Indian army reported that “unprovoked” small arms fire was launched by “multiple” Pakistani army posts “all across the Line of Control in Kashmir” from Friday night into Saturday.

It stated that “Indian troops responded appropriately with small arms,” and confirmed that “no casualties reported.”

There was no immediate response from Pakistan regarding the latest incident.

However, both sides had acknowledged an exchange of fire between their forces the previous night.

Relations between India and Pakistan have sharply deteriorated, reaching their lowest point in years.

New Delhi accuses Islamabad of supporting “cross-border terrorism” following a deadly attack on Tuesday, when gunmen killed 26 civilians in the worst such incident in Indian-administered Kashmir in 25 years.

Islamabad has denied any involvement, calling efforts to tie Pakistan to the attack in Pahalgam “frivolous.”

The United Nations has called on both countries, which have fought several wars, to exercise “maximum restraint.”

Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since the two nations gained independence from Britain in 1947.

Both countries claim the region in full but administer separate parts of it.

Rebel groups have been fighting Indian rule in Kashmir since 1989, seeking either independence or a merger with Pakistan.
