According to a ⁤report by the English ‍section of “webangah News Agency” citing mehr News Agency and France⁤ 24, the Indian Army stated⁢ that its forces and Pakistani troops exchanged fire for the third consecutive night along the disputed border region known as⁢ the Line of Control (LoC).

The escalation comes amid heightened tensions between New delhi and ⁤Islamabad following a deadly attack on a group of tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir. Indian officials reported cross-border firing between Indian and Pakistani forces.

India⁣ has accused its neighbor Pakistan of supporting “cross-border terrorism.” Islamabad,⁢ though, denied any involvement in ⁤the incident, ⁣calling attempts ‌to link Pakistan to the attack “futile”‍ and warning it would ⁢respond ‌appropriately to⁢ any Indian action.

Indian security forces have launched an extensive search operation to identify those responsible for the attack in Pahalgam, which left at ⁣least 26 tourists dead in ​the‌ volatile region.

the statement further noted that Indian‍ troops “responded actively⁤ with appropriate light ​weapons.”
