Tensions have resurfaced along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, with villagers in Akhnoor, Naushera, and Sunderbani reporting ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces for the first time in nearly eight years, according to ANI.

Residents in the Pargwal sector of Akhnoor stated that they heard multiple rounds of gunfire during the night of 29–30 April. “About 10 to 12 rounds were fired last night. The Indian Army also responded. This kind of ceasefire violation is happening after 7–8 years,” said Ankur Singh, a local resident, speaking to ANI.
