On April 1, 2025, the Pakistan Army crossed the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, and initiated unprovoked firing on Indian positions. This incident, occurring around 1:10 PM, marked a violation of the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, which had been reaffirmed in February 2021. The Indian Army responded with a controlled and calibrated retaliation, resulting in no reported casualties or damage on the Indian side. Sources indicate that the Pakistani troops suffered heavy casualties, with estimates suggesting four to five infiltrators were killed and up to five soldiers injured during the exchange. The situation was reported as under control and closely monitored by Indian forces, who emphasized the importance of upholding the 2021 ceasefire understanding to maintain peace along the LoC. This event unfolded against the backdrop of heightened tensions, with ongoing security operations in nearby Kathua district and an upcoming visit by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah to Jammu and Kashmir on April 7-8, 2025.
