JAMMU: At a time when an Army camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Sunjuwan is under attack by terrorists, Pakistan violated ceasefire in Poonch district of Kashmir. The Pakistani troops launched mortars shells on Saturday at civilian areas along the Line of Control (LoC).

There have been no casualties in the shelling. "The Pakistan Army launched mortar shells in Khadi Karmara forward areas in Poonch around 1100 hours today," an official said. The shells fell deep inside Indian territory along the Line of Control triggering panic and fear among the residents.

The Pakistani troops also launched shells along the LoC in Chakan Da Bagh forward area in Poonch.
