As India braces for a nationwide security readiness exercise, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval held a crucial meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, signaling the gravity of the current situation. The high-level briefing comes amid escalating cross-border hostilities, with firing from Pakistan persisting for the 12th consecutive night along the volatile Line of Control (LoC).

Reports indicate continued small-arms fire across multiple sectors—including Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor—prompting a calibrated and robust counter-response from Indian forces.

Simultaneously, behind closed doors at the United Nations Security Council, discussions were initiated following Islamabad’s appeal to address the rising friction. While diplomatic channels begin to stir, the ground reality along the LoC underscores a sustained pattern of provocation, with India's security apparatus maintaining heightened vigilance.
