New Delhi [India], April 27 (ANI): The Indian Army responded effectively to unprovoked firing initiated by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control (LoC) on the night of April 26-27 in areas opposite the Tutmari Gali and Rampur sectors.
Tensions remain elevated along the LoC, even as security forces ramped up anti-terror operations across the Kashmir valley in the wake of the devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, mostly tourists.
The Indian Army confirmed that its troops responded promptly with appropriate small arms fire. “On the night of 26-27 April 2025, Pakistan Army posts initiated unprovoked small arms fire across the Line of Control in the areas opposite Tutmari Gali and Rampur Sectors. Our troops responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire,” the Indian Army stated.
In related developments, Kulgam Police, in a joint operation with the Army and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), arrested two terrorist associates and seized a cache of arms and ammunition in south Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
According to an official release, the suspects were intercepted during a routine checkpoint at Matalhama Chowk Thokerpora, Qaimoh. The arrested individuals have been identified as Bilal Ahmad Bhat, son of Abdul Salam Bhat, and Mohd Ismail Bhat, son of Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, both residents of Thokerpora, Qaimoh.
Upon searching the suspects, security forces recovered two pistols, two pistol magazines, and 25 rounds of ammunition. A case has been registered at the Qaimoh Police Station, and further investigations are underway.
Additionally, the house of a suspect linked to the Pahalgam terrorist attack was demolished by security forces and Jammu and Kashmir (J-K) authorities on Saturday. The suspect, Zakir Ahmad Ganie, a resident of Mutalhama village in Kulgam district, is believed to have been involved in the Pahalgam attack. Ganie has been active in the region since 2023, according to officials. (ANI)
