Pakistan Army posts initiated an unprovoked small-arms fire across the Line of Control (LoC) opposite the Naushera, Sunderbani and Akhnoor sectors in Jammu & Kashmir.

The firing, which began with small arms, was reported from the Pargwal sector along the IB in Jammu district, and the Sunderbani and Naushera sectors in Rajouri district. This marked the sixth consecutive night of ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC, amidst heightened tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, 2025.
