Indian and Pakistani troops have reportedly exchanged fire across the Line of Control- LOC in Kashmir for the second consecutive night as tensions between the two countries escalated over the recent massacre of 26 civilians at a tourist hotspot in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam
According to the Indian Army, multiple Pakistani posts across the LoC initiated "unprovoked" small arms fire, prompting Indian forces to retaliate, broadcaster NDTV reports.
No casualties were reported in the exchange. Speculative firing was also reported the night before.
Military sources believe Pakistani forces are testing the readiness of Indian soldiers amid rising calls within India for a strong response against terror hubs across the border.
