India-Pakistan Flag Meeting Amid Rising Border Tensions

In light of recent cross-border incidents and an IED attack along the Line of Control, India and Pakistan are set to hold a flag meeting on Friday. The meeting comes after a surge in border activities, resulting in casualties on both sides, including Indian army personnel killed and injured.

India and Pakistan are scheduled to convene a flag meeting on Friday, in response to escalating tensions along the Line of Control (LoC). This meeting follows several cross-border firing incidents and an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack that resulted in the death of two Indian army personnel, including a captain, in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu.

The heightened activity along the LoC has resulted in additional injuries to Indian army personnel due to cross-border firing in the Rajouri and Poonch districts and a landmine explosion. Indian forces have reportedly inflicted significant casualties on the Pakistani side as part of their retaliatory actions.

This uptick in border violations marks a shift from the relative calm that followed the renewal of a ceasefire agreement between the two nations on February 25, 2021. Details about the upcoming meeting are still emerging, signaling a critical moment for Indo-Pak border diplomacy.
