Pakistani troops again violated ceasefire and resorted to unprovoked and indiscriminate firing targeting Indian forward posts and civilian areas along the line of control in the border district of Poonch today afternoon. According to the Defence Spokesperson, at about 1715 hrs Pak troops started firing with small arms followed by shelling with mortars. However, Indian troops guarding the border retaliated immediately and are giving a befitting reply to silence Pak guns.

This is the 2nd time on Tuesday that Pak troops violated ceasefire in Mankote area of Poonch. Earlier, in the morning at about 9.30 Pak troops had targeted Indian forward posts and civilian areas in Mankote area.
