Indian Army Denies Reported LoC Ceasefire Violation

Conflicting accounts have surfaced regarding an alleged ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch sector on August 5, 2025. While Indian media and some officials reported unprovoked firing by Pakistani forces and a subsequent retaliatory response by the Indian Army, no casualties were reported and high alert was declared due to potential infiltration threats. However, the Indian Army later issued an official public denial that any such ceasefire violation had occurred, leading to uncertainty about the incident. This is the first alleged breach since Operation Sindoor, launched in May 2025 after a major terror attack. Both sides have exchanged accusations of unprovoked firing in previous months. Security forces remain vigilant along the border as the situation develops.
