India on Wednesday warned Pakistan against the unprovoked violations by the Pakistan Army along the Line of Control.

The warning comes as the Director Generals of Military Operations of India and Pakistan talked over hotline on Tuesday to discuss the unprovoked ceasefire violations by Islamabad, sources told news agency ANI.

Pakistan has been resorting to firings on the Indian side of the LoC since Friday night in violation of a ceasefire understanding and the Indian Army responded to them appropriately, military sources said. 

Pakistan on Wednesday continued with its ceasefire violations for the sixth consecutive night as it initiated unprovoked firing across the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army said.

The directors general of military operations (DGMOs) held the conversation on Tuesday. The Pakistan military has been warned against the unprovoked firings, people familiar with the DGMO talks said.

The development comes as India mulls its options to respond to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. However, the sources called the exchanges over the hotline as routine, saying it was a weekly conversation between the DGMOs that is held every Tuesday.

The Indian DGMO strongly took up the matter of ceasefire violations by the Pakistan military, the sources said.

The Pakistani troops engaged in small-arms fire along the LoC on the intervening night of April 29-30, while the Indian Army responded swiftly and proportionately to the ceasefire violation.

The development comes amid hieghtened tensions between the two countries in the wake of Pahalgam terror attack, in which 26 people were killed.

Earlier in February 2021, the Indian and Pakistani armies in a move to reduce tensions announced that they would cease firing across the LoC while recommitting themselves to a 2003 ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire understanding was broadly being adhered to till last week.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan military has been put on high alert following India's assertion that it will hunt down the terrorists involved in the Pahalgam strike.
