ISLAMABAD: A befitting response from the Pakistan Army has destroyed several Indian posts after their forces carried out a serious ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Kashmir region during the night between April 29 and 30.
Pakistani defence sources have confirmed that the country’s armed forces remain fully alert and prepared to respond to any form of aggression.
Indian forces opened unprovoked small-arms fire on the Kiani and Mandal sectors, according to security sources.
One of the positions hit during the exchange was the Chakpatra post, situated in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Following a retaliatory response by the Pakistani Army, the Indian firing came to a halt.
Officials stated that “any hostile move by India would be seen as an attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and would receive a strong and immediate response.”
Pakistan Army on high alert
The Pakistan Army is on high alert and has intensified its war preparedness in response to the growing escalation with India, according to security sources.
Military exercises featuring advanced weaponry, tanks, artillery, and infantry units are currently in progress across key border areas, including Sialkot, Narowal, Zafarwal, and Shakargarh.
According to sources, the drills underscore the army’s firm commitment to national defence and highlight its high level of operational preparedness to respond to any threat. Troops remain on high alert, demonstrating strong morale and readiness to make any sacrifice for the nation’s security.
The Pakistan Army has reiterated its dedication to protecting the country’s borders and preserving national sovereignty, pledging to take all necessary actions to maintain peace and stability.
PAF forces IAF jet to retreat
The timely and efficient action of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) forced the Indian Rafale aircraft to flee in panic, Pakistan state media reported on Wednesday.
State-run media, PTV News and Radio Pakistan cited security sources as saying, “On the night of April 29/30, four Rafale aircraft of the Indian Air Force patrolled overnight in the airspace in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).”
It reported that PAF aircraft immediately identified these Indian Air Force warplanes, forcing them to flee.
Pakistan shoots down two quadcopters
The Pakistan Army on Tuesday shot down two Indian quadcopters that violated Pakistani airspace along the Line of Control (LoC), in what officials described as a clear breach of sovereignty and an act of aggression.
According to security sources, the first incident occurred in the Munawar Sector in Bhimber district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, where an Indian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), identified as a Phantom-4 quadcopter, was intercepted and neutralised after it attempted aerial surveillance within Pakistani territory.
Later the same day, a second Indian quadcopter was downed in the Satwal Sector in Poonch district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
In both instances, the Pakistan Army responded swiftly, preventing the devices from gathering any intelligence and neutralizing the threat.
India running terror network in Pakistan: DG ISPR
Earlier, Pakistan military’s spokesman, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, presented irrefutable evidence revealing India’s involvement in undertaking cross-border terrorism inside Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference in Rawalpindi, the military’s spokesman revealed that a full-fledged Indian terror network has been uncovered within Pakistan.
The DG ISPR said that seven days had passed since the Pahalgam incident, but so far, India had not provided a “shred of evidence” for its “baseless allegations” against Pakistan.
He dismissed India’s accusations of terrorism against Pakistan as baseless and countered that New Delhi is, in fact, operating terrorist networks inside Pakistan.
Pahalgam crisis
Tensions escalated between Pakistan and India after gunmen attacked local tourists in the Pahalgam area of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) on 22 April, killing 26 people and injuring 17.
India swiftly blamed Pakistan for the attack without presenting any credible evidence. Pakistan condemned the attack and strongly rejected the Indian government’s baseless accusations.
A day after the Pahalgam incident on 23 April, India’s Cabinet Committee on Security approved measures including the closure of the Wagah-Attari border crossing and the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
In response, Pakistan’s National Security Committee (NSC) met on 24 April and warned that any attempt by India to block water flows into Pakistan would be considered an act of war.
The Pakistan Foreign Office on Friday said India was in no position to make a unilateral decision on the Indus Waters Treaty which is of critical importance for Pakistan’s water security and economy.
Pakistan’s National Security Committee also announced to closure of the Wagah border crossing with India.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday said Islamabad was open to any “neutral and transparent” investigation into the Pahalgam attack. However, New Delhi has yet to respond to Pakistan’s offer.
Pakistan has consistently maintained that it has no interest in escalating conflict but would defend itself if attacked.
