Pakistan violates ceasefire in Jammu & Kashmir's Poonch; Indian Army retaliates

Jammu: In yet another ceasefire violation, Pakistan on Wednesday resorted to heavy firing and mortar shelling on forward posts and civilian areas along Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.

Pakistan resorted to unprovoked firing along the LoC at 8:45 am.

Indian Army retaliated with full force to the Pakistan's misadventure.

An Army jawan was killed on Tuesday as Pakistani forces violated the ceasefire by firing from across the LoC in Poonch district.

Three children were killed in a ceasefire violation incident from the Pakistani side on Monday.

“Five hundred and three such violations have been carried out by Pakistan forces so far during 2017,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
