India and Pakistan exchanged fresh accusations of ceasefire violations along the Kashmir border on Monday, marking the 11th consecutive night of cross-border fire since tensions flared after a deadly April 22 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people, Anadolu Agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan\u2019s military claimed Indian troops initiated “unprovoked” firing on multiple posts along the Line of Control (LoC), prompting a “befitting response.” India countered, alleging Pakistan opened fire first and stating its forces retaliated “promptly and proportionately.” The LoC divides the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region between the nuclear-armed rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid the skirmishes, Pakistan conducted its second missile test in three days\u2014a 120-km-range Fatah series surface-to-surface missile\u2014to validate operational readiness and technical parameters, including navigation precision. This follows a 450-km-range missile test on Saturday, underscoring military posturing during the crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tensions trace back to the Pahalgam resort attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, which remains unclaimed by any group. Both nations have historically linked such incidents to cross-border militancy, though neither presented evidence in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With no diplomatic breakthroughs in sight, the repeated violations risk further destabilizing the region. Observers warn the cycle of accusations and military demonstrations could escalate unpredictably between the two nuclear-capable states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
