Indian Army Inflicts Casualties On Pakistani Forces In Retaliation To Ceasefire Violations: Defence Sources

New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): According to defense sources, the Indian Army provided an “effective” reaction to ceasefire breaches initiated by the Pakistani forces. These breaches involved the use of artillery guns targeting regions along the Line of Control (LoC).

The Indian Army reacted efficiently to the ceasefire breaches, with the Pakistani forces utilizing artillery guns. According to defense officials speaking to ANI on Wednesday, the Pakistani Army sustained losses during the robust counteraction from India’s side.

The ceasefire violation took place during the night of May 6-7, shortly after India launched precision strikes under

Operation Sindoor

targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistani-controlled Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier, three innocent civilians lost their lives after the Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked and indiscriminate firing, including artillery shelling, from across the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) opposite Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army said.

“During the night of 06-07 May 2025, the Pakistan Army resorted to arbitrary firing, including artillery shelling from posts across the Line of Control and IB opposite J&K. Three innocent civilians lost their lives in indiscriminate firing/shelling. Indian Army are responding in a proportionate manner,” the Army said in an official statement. (ANI)

Meanwhile, The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced that a press briefing on

Operation Sindoor

will be held on Wednesday at 10:00 AM at the Media Centre, Press Information Bureau, Shastri Bhawan, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, New Delhi.

Further details regarding the operation are expected to be shared during the briefing.

India carried out its deepest strikes inside Pakistan’s undisputed territory since 1971, according to CNN, successfully targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

This represents New Delhi’s most substantial military operation within Pakistani territory in more than fifty years.

The strikes were carried out to avenge the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and to eliminate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) leaders involved in planning and executing terrorist attacks in India.

The Ministry of Defence, in its statement, said, “A little while ago, the Indian Armed Forces launched ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’, hitting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir from where terrorist attacks against India have been planned and directed.”

In total, nine (9) locations have been targeted.

“Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistani military facilities have been targeted. India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution,” the statement added.

Following the horrific Pahalgam terror attack, where 25 Indians and one Nepalese national lost their lives, these measures have been implemented. The Ministry of Defence emphasized, “We remain committed to ensuring that those behind this heinous act face justice.” (ANI)
