The Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked small-arms fire on the night of April 29–30 across multiple locations along the Line of Control (LoC) as well as the International Border, triggering strong retaliatory action by Indian security forces. According to officials, Pakistani posts targeted Indian positions in the Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor sectors of Jammu and Kashmir during the night, using small arms including light and medium machine guns and rocket launchers. Indian Army troops responded swiftly and proportionately to the provocation.
