Jammu, October 24
Pakistan violated ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked firing and mortar shelling in three sectors along the LoC and the IB in J&K, officials said on Saturday.
The Indian Army and BSF retaliated effectively, they said. “At about 6.30 pm, Pakistan initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and shelling mortars along the LoC in the Degwar sector in Poonch district,” a Defence spokesman said.
He said the Indian Army retaliated befittingly and the cross-border shelling between the two sides was going on when last reports were received.
Pakistani Rangers also fired on forward posts and villages in Rajpurian in the Ghagwal sector of Samba district and Faqeera and Manyari in the Hiranagar sector along the IB in Kathua district, a police official said.— PTI
