In yet another ceasefire violation, Pakistani troops targeted Indian posts along the line of Control (loC) in Poonch district of Jammu & Kashmir, forcing Indian forces to retaliate effectively.
Pakistani troops resorted to heavy firing of automatic and small weapons at Indian posts along the loC in Mendhar forward areas in Poonch district around 11.35pm yesterday, defence spokesman Munish Mehta said here on Tuesday.
Indian troops guarding the border retaliated effectively with equal-calibre weapons resulting in intermittent exchange of fire, he said, adding that the "exchange continued in the forward area till 11.55pm hours". There was no death or injury to anyone on this side of the loC due to the firing, he said.
