    Pakistan violates ceasefire for third time, Army retaliates

    JAMMU: The Pakistan Army violated ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir for the third time in three days. The Indian Army said, “On the night of 26th-27th April 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control in the areas opposite Tutmari Gali and Rampur Sectors.”

    “Our troops responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire,” the Indian said.

    This was the third time the Pakistan Army resorted to “unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control” after the Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people earlier this week.

    On Friday, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, for the first time following the Pahalgam terror attack, reached Srinagar and reviewed the security situation of the Union Territory.

    The Indian Army Chief General was also briefed on the actions being taken by the formations against terrorists inside their own territory and the Pakistan Army’s attempts to violate the ceasefire along the LoC.

    Meanwhile, the house of a suspect in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people and injured many, was demolished by security forces and Jammu and Kashmir (J-K) authorities, officials said on Saturday.

    According to the officials, the house of a suspect, identified as Zakir Ahmad Ganie, at Mutalhama village in Kulgam district was demolished. Ganie is believed to have been involved in the Pahalgam terror attack, which has sent shock waves across the country.

    Earlier on Friday, the house of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Adil Thokar, also known as Adil Guree, was demolished. Adil had illegally travelled to Pakistan in 2018, where he reportedly received terror training before returning to Jammu and Kashmir last year.

    In another operation, two terrorist associates were arrested by security forces in Kulgam district, the police sources said on Saturday. According to officials, the duo were arrested from Thokerpora in Qaimoh area of the district. Further details are awaited.
