The Indian Army on late Saturday (10 May) night thwarted a suspected intrusion attempt at Nagrota Military Station, Jammu, triggering a brief exchange of fire.
The Army’s White Knight Corps said on X, "On noticing suspicious movement near the perimeter, alert sentry at Nagrota Military Station issued a challenge, leading to a brief exchange of fire with the suspect. Sentry sustained a minor injury. Search operations are underway to track the intruder(s)".
The incident unfolded amid heightened tensions along the Indo-Pak border following India’s military offensive, Operation Sindoor 2.0, which saw strikes on eleven Pakistani airbases on 10 May, prompting Islamabad to seek a ceasefire understanding with New Delhi.
However, the fragile truce was quickly undermined as Pakistan violated the ceasefire understanding brokered earlier that same day between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both countries.
ANI reported that while addressing a special midnight press briefing Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri stated , “For the last few hours, there have been repeated violations of the understanding arrived at earlier this evening between the Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan. This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations, and we take very, very serious note of these violations.”
He added, “We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility. The armed forces are maintaining a strong vigil on the situation. They have been given instructions to deal strongly with any instances of repetition of the violations of the border along the International Border as well as the Line of Control.”
