Srinagar: 

This was the third consecutive night that Pakistan resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC). On the night of April 25-26, unprovoked small arms firing was carried out by multiple Pakistan Army posts along the LoC in Kashmir. Indian troops responded to the ceasefire violations appropriately with small arms. The Pakistan Army also resorted to small arms firing at some places along the LoC on April 24. The same was effectively retaliated against. No casualties have been reported during the ceasefire violations during the last three days.

Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing, violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Sunday and added Indian Army soldiers "responded effectively".

"On the intervening night of April 26-27, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in areas opposite the Tutmari Gali and the Rampur sectors," the officials said. They added that the Indian Army soldiers "responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire".

Meanwhile, Kulgam Police, in a coordinated operation with the Army and CRPF on Saturday, arrested two terrorist associates and recovered a cache of arms and ammunition in south Kashmir's Kulgam district.
