Shots fired from Pakistan into Indian-controlled territory – Defense World – April 25, 2025

The Indian military said that there had been firing across the line of control in Kashmir.

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire in the territory in 2021. The agreement has been violated multiple times.

The reported gunfire comes days after a deadly attack near the mountain town of Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir killed at least 26 people.

The United Nations has called for “maximum restraint” between India and Pakistan over last week’s deadly shooting in Kashmir.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to hunt down the militants who killed 26 civilians at the popular tourist site of Pahalgam.

Pakistan has denied accusations from New Delhi that it is supporting the militants and that two of the three gunmen were Pakistani.

“We very much appeal to both the governments… to exercise maximum restraint, and to ensure that the situation and the developments we’ve seen do not deteriorate any further,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York on Thursday.

“Any issues between Pakistan and India, we believe, can be and should be resolved peacefully through meaningful mutual engagement.

On Tuesday, gunmen carried out the deadliest attack on civilians for 25 years in the contested Muslim-majority region.

India accused Pakistan of involvement in the attack, allegations Islamabad has denied.

On Thursday, Pakistan vowed to “take action” after New Delhi downgraded ties with its neighbor and suspended a crucial water treaty.
