Hours after first attempt to strike Jammu city foiled, Pakistan sends another barrage early morning — again repelled

Another Attempt Thwarted Within Hours
In a clear act of aggression, Pakistan launched a second attack on Jammu early Thursday morning. Indian forces once again thwarted the strike, just hours after the first failed attempt the previous night. The Pakistan attack on Jammu involved artillery shelling near civilian areas on the city’s outskirts. Fortunately, Indian security forces intercepted the assault before it could cause significant damage.
Indian Army Acts Quickly to Protect Civilians
The Indian Army responded swiftly using advanced radar systems and counter-artillery measures. No casualties were reported, though a few homes and shops near the border sustained minor damage. Authorities praised the efficiency of the forces and emphasized their readiness to deal with future threats.
Pattern of Provocation at the LoC
Security experts see this pattern of back-to-back attacks as an attempt by Pakistan to provoke a larger conflict. Over the past few weeks, there have been increased reports of ceasefire violations and cross-border movement. The Pakistan attack on Jammu has only added to growing fears of escalation along the Line of Control (LoC).
India Issues Strong Warning
In a press briefing, the Ministry of External Affairs condemned the repeated aggression. “India will not tolerate threats to its territorial integrity,” the spokesperson said. The government assured citizens that it would take every necessary measure to defend national sovereignty. Intelligence agencies are also closely monitoring communication intercepts for signs of further hostile plans.
Civilians Urge Government to Boost Border Security
Residents of Jammu are growing anxious. Many have called for the deployment of additional forces and better infrastructure to protect border villages. “We live in fear every night,” said one local shopkeeper. “The government must act before it’s too late.”
International Community Reacts
World leaders and international observers have expressed concern. Several nations have urged both India and Pakistan to exercise restraint and open diplomatic channels to prevent further escalation. Meanwhile, the United Nations has called for calm and dialogue to preserve regional stability.
