First Calm Night in Days: Peace Prevails Across Jammu & Kashmir and Border Areas

Jammu & Kashmir, May 12, 2025 – After several nights of heightened alert and reported tensions, the region of Jammu & Kashmir and other areas along the International Border experienced a rare and much-needed peaceful night. Authorities confirmed that no incidents were reported overnight, marking the first calm night in recent days.

Security forces, who have been maintaining strict vigilance amid escalating concerns over ceasefire violations, stated that the situation remained under control with no signs of aggression or disturbances from across the border.

This development comes as a significant relief for residents in the border regions, who have been living under constant threat and uncertainty. Many local families stayed indoors following advisories but reported a quieter night compared to the previous week.

Officials from the Home Department and border security agencies noted that while the situation remains tense and unpredictable, the current de-escalation is being closely monitored.

While authorities have not confirmed any formal agreement or reason behind the reduced activity, sources suggest that diplomatic backchannel communications may be influencing the lull.

For now, the residents and forces alike are hoping this calm is not temporary. Regular patrols and surveillance operations continue to remain active as a precautionary measure.
