An Indian Army soldier was martyred on Wednesday in a ceasefire violation by Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch sector, amid escalating tensions following India's 'Operation Sindoor'.
Lance Naik Dinesh Kumar of the 5 Field Regiment sustained critical injuries during cross-border shelling and later succumbed to his wounds, the Army confirmed. The White Knight Corps paid tribute to him.
:#GOC and all ranks of #WhiteKnightCorps salute the supreme sacrifice of L/Nk Dinesh Kumar of 5 Fd Regt, who laid down his life on 07 May 25 during Pakistan Army shelling.
We also stand in solidarity with all victims of the targeted attacks on innocent civilians in #Poonch Sector," White Knight Corps posted on X.
The ceasefire violation follows India’s precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, targeting groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Pakistan responded with indiscriminate shelling across the LoC and International Border, killing at least 15 civilians and injuring 43 in the Poonch and Tangdhar regions. In retaliation, the Indian Army reportedly targeted multiple Pakistani military positions in Kupwara and Rajouri-Poonch, causing heavy casualties.
