According to the Indian Army, multiple Pakistani posts across the LoC initiated "unprovoked" small arms fire, prompting Indian forces to retaliate, broadcaster NDTV reports. "On the night of Apr 25-26, 2025, unprovoked small firing was carried out by multiple Pakistan Army post all across the Line of Control in Kashmir. No casualties reported," the Indian Army said in a statement. Military sources believe Pakistani forces are testing the readiness of Indian soldiers amid rising calls within India for a strong response against terror hubs across the border. Vowing a harsh response, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Indian forces would hunt down every terrorist involved, promising a punishment "bigger than they can imagine".
