Episode notes
Shift in Pakistan's Ceasefire Violations
- Pakistan's ceasefire violations have shifted from occasional to widespread and coordinated firing along the Line of Control (LOC). - This shift occurred after the Pahalgam terror attack and represents a break from a previously calm period since 2021.
Unusual Simultaneous Violations
- Recent ceasefire violations happen simultaneously across many sectors along the LOC, unlike previous localized incidents. - This indicates a more aggressive intent by Pakistan rather than attempts at infiltration.
Indian Army's Preparedness and Response
- Indian Army has responded to unprovoked firing proportionately and promptly using small arms only. - Many artillery regiments have upgraded to 155mm guns, enhancing range and impact for potential escalations.
