Pakistan violates ceasefire for 4th day, Indian troops give 'effective and swift' response

Indian troops responded swiftly and effectively," the Indian Army said in a statement.

The order tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated following the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, in which 26 people were killed.

The security agencies have intensified their search for the perpetrators of the terror attack.

The houses of three more suspected terrorists were demolished by security personnel in South Kashmir, taking the number to nine since the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, officials told HT on Sunday.

The houses of Adnan Shafi Dar in Zainapora area of Shopian, Amir Nazir in Daramdora area of Pulwama, and Jameel Ahmad in Naz Colony area of Bandipora were demolished.

New Delhi has announced a raft of retaliatory steps, including the cancellation of visas and the suspension of the 1960s Indus Water Treaty.

Pakistan too responded by putting the 1972 Shimla Agreement in abeyance and closing its airspace for Indian carriers.

Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday supported decisive fight against terrorism and its origin but cautioned against any “misplaced action that alienates people who have voiced their concerns over innocent killings”.
