A forest fire in the Balakote sector of Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, along the Line of Control triggered at least six landmine explosions on December 7, 2025, around 10 am near the zero line. The blaze engulfed the anti-infiltration obstacle system, strategically deployed by Indian security forces to effectively counter cross-border terrorist incursions from Pakistan, causing the detonations without any reported casualties, damage, or injuries to personnel. Indian officials swiftly mobilized efforts to douse the raging flames, highlighting the robustness of defenses in maintaining vigil amid environmental challenges in this sensitive border region.
