Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked firing after a mine exploded along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, a defence spokesman said on Wednesday.

He said the Indian army responded “effectively” to the ceasefire violation and continues to dominate the LoC where the situation is under control. Official sources said the violation took place at 1.10 pm on Tuesday.
While the Indian Army made no mention of any casualty on the Pakistan side, the sources said five enemy soldiers were injured in the explosion and the subsequent firing between the two sides. “On 01 Apr 2025, a mine blast occurred in Krishna Ghati sector while the Pakistan Army was patrolling along the LoC. This was followed by unprovoked firing and ceasefire violation,” Jammu-based defence PRO Lt Col Suneel Bartwal said.
“Own troops responded effectively. The Indian Army continues to dominate the LoC. The situation is under control,” he said. The ceasefire violations along the borders of J&K have been rare since the two nations renewed an agreement on February 25, 2021. However, several ceasefire incidents were reported in Poonch-Rajouri this year.
