Pakistani troops have fired on Indian soldiers and border posts over a dozen times since the 2021 ceasefire agreement, said Indian security officials. The latest incident occurred on Thursday in Jammu's Arnia sector, injuring two BSF jawans and three civilians. A security official said these violations show Pakistan doesn't want peace at the border, often using fire to divert attention from infiltration or during major political developments. Per BSF data, Pakistan violated the ceasefire at least 6 times in 2022 and 4 times this year. Most 2021 incidents occurred before the ceasefire agreement in February 2021 between India and Pakistan DGs. Thursday's ceasefire violation by Pakistan on the eve of the 76th anniversary of Jammu and Kashmir's accession to India bears political significance on both sides of the border.
