NEW DELHI: Following the horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan’s panic and provocation have reached new heights. With the fear of a fierce retaliation from India looming large, Pakistan has ramped up its violations along the Line of Control (LoC), defying ceasefire agreements in a desperate attempt to stir the pot. On the night of April 27-28, 2025, Pakistani forces opened fire on Indian positions in Kupwara and Poonch districts, mirroring a pattern of violations that has spanned several days. This ongoing provocation speaks volumes about Pakistan’s escalating sense of dread after the deadly Pahalgam strike—a fear that India may unleash a more devastating response, reminiscent of the strikes in Balakot and Pulwama.
