Tensions are rising along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir as Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire for the fourth night in a row. Unprovoked firing was reported from Kupwara and, for the first time, the Poonch sector—pointing to a possible escalation. This comes after the deadly April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley, where 26 people were killed. The Indian Army said that Pakistan started the firing using small arms, and Indian forces responded effectively. No casualties have been reported so far. Security forces are on high alert, and officials have asked people living near the border to remain careful and stay updated on safety instructions.

People across India and even in other countries are standing together to protest the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people. Candle marches, torchlight protests, and rallies were held in cities like Lucknow, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Madhya Pradesh. BJP leaders, Samajwadi Party members, VHP, and even the transgender community joined to demand justice. Protesters raised anti-Pakistan slogans and burnt effigies. Outside India, protests were seen near the Pakistan Embassy in Kathmandu and by the Indian community in London. People are expressing deep sorrow and anger, showing unity against terrorism. The nation is mourning the loss of innocent lives and strongly condemning the cruelty of the attack.
