Ceasefire violations by the Islamic Republic of Pakistan across the 778-kilometres-long Line of Control (LoC) in just the first nine months of 2020 have surged to the highest recorded in any year in the past 17 years, reports Economic Times.

From 1 January to 7 September, India has recorded a total of 3,186 ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces. In addition to these, there have also been 242 instances of cross-border firing along the 198-kilometres-long international border which Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) shares with Pakistan.
