Pahalgam Terror Attack Live Updates: Pakistani troops continued ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) for the seventh consecutive night on Wednesday by its unprovoked firing in several sectors across three border districts of Jammu & Kashmir, officials said, adding that the Indian military responded proportionately.

The exchange of fire took place even though the directors general of military operations of India and Pakistan spoke over the hotline on Tuesday, amid rising tensions between the two countries over the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists. The Resistance Front, a shadow group of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, claimed responsibility. 

Following the attack, India downgraded diplomatic ties and announced a raft of measures against Pakistan, which adopted a similar move in retaliation. Both the countries have shut down their airspaces for one another. National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director General Sadanand Date reached Pahalgam on Thursday to probe the terror attack. 

Meanwhile, Pakistan has appointed serving ISI chief Lt Gen Muhammad Asim Malik as the new National Security Adviser.
