India-Pakistan Tensions Live Updates: The Centre has asked several states to conduct civil defence drills on Wednesday amid tensions with Pakistan after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22. The day also witnessed several high-level meetings chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his office.
The situation remains tense between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, with Pakistan resorting to unprovoked firing across the LoC for the 11th consecutive night. On the adjoining night of May 4 and May 5, small arms firing was directed from posts in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajauri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army responded to the firing promptly.
Twenty-six people, including one Nepali national, were killed and many others were injured in the terrorist attack on Baisaran Valley, known as “Mini Switzerland” – a tourist hotspot with rolling hills and verdant orchards – and opened fire on April 22. India has vowed to track down and punish every terrorist involved in the massacre.
