Poonch: Pakistani troops violated ceasefire by firing
towards the Indian Army posts in Poonch sector near the Line of Control
in Jammu and Kashmir today.
"Pakistani troops have targeted Indian posts by firing rocket projectile grenades (RPGs) and heavy machine guns along LoC in Doda Battalion forward area in Poonch district since 0730 hours today," a senior Army officer said.
Indian border troops retaliated effectively, resulting in heavy exchanges which were on for five hours, the officer said.
There was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing, he said.
Top army officials are monitoring the situation in wake of the heavy firing along the border line and troops have been asked in other forward areas to intensify round the clock vigilance.
This is fifth ceasefire violation in July this year.
