As Pakistan's adherence to ceasefire violation across the international border continues after the deadly Pahalgam attack, the Indian Army on Wednesday once again gave a befitting reply to their unprovoked cross-border firing for sixth night straight.

Indian Army troops responded swiftly and proportionately: Indian Army", ANI posted on X.

India-Pakistan Tension Escalates
Since the devastating attack on April 22 that killed 26 people in Pahalgam, the political tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours are on the rise.

The Pakistan military has been put on high alert following India's assertion that it would hunt down the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam strike.
In view of the cross-border linkages to the Pahalgam attack, India responded with a series of retaliatory measures against Pakistan including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), suspension of visas, closure of Wagah-Attari border amongst others..
Pakistan has also responded with tit-for-tat measures and closed its airspace to Indian-owned and operated airlines.

In its response, Pakistan on Thursday announced shutting its airspace to all Indian airlines and suspended trade with New Delhi, including through third countries.
Pakistan also rejected India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and said any measures to stop the flow of water belonging to Pakistan under the pact would be seen as an "act of war".
