India-Pak ceasefire under strain as cross-border firing spreads across J&K
Defence officials confirmed that after a near-total calm along the border over the past three years—with only one ceasefire violation (CFV) in 2022, none in 2023, and two in 2024—there has now been a sharp increase in incidents. For six consecutive nights, Indian forward posts from Kupwara in north Kashmir to Poonch in Jammu division have come under small arms and light machine gun fire.
