In Jammu and Kashmir, in yet another incident of ceasefire violation, Pakistan troops resorted to indiscriminate and unprovoked firing on Indian forward posts and civilian areas in the border district of Poonch today.

Defence Spokesman told AIR Jammu correspondent that at about 1545 hrs, Pakistani troops started targeting forward posts and civilian areas in Qasba and Kirni sectors of the district by firing small arms and shelling with mortars. However, Indian troops retaliated and returned the fire effectively. No loss of life or damage was reported from the Indian side.

When the reports last came in, the exchange of fire was going on. It may be mentioned here that Pakistan troops have been continuously violating ceasefire on Line of Control and International border targeting Indian forward posts and civilian areas.
