Pak violates LoC ceasefire in 2 J&K sectors of Poonch

Pakistan resorted to unprovoked firing and shelling on Indian positions on the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday in two sectors of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

About 5.40 p.m., Pakistan initiated the unprovoked firing with small arms and shelling with mortars in Mendhar and Balakote sectors, Defence Spokesman Colonel Devender Anand said.

The spokesman said the Indian army retaliated at both the places befittingly.

Pakistan has with impunity since the beginning of this year been violating the bilateral ceasefire agreement signed by the two countries in 1999.

Since January 2020, around 30 civilians have been killed and over 100 injured in more than 3,200 ceasefire violations by Pakistan on the LoC.
