First time in 9 yrs Indian, Pakistani troops exchange heavy firing in Uri sector


Srinagar: For the first time in nine years when India and Pakistan called truce, heavy firing exchanges between Indian and Pakistani troops erupted along the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri sector in North Kashmir's Baramulla district.

According to reports, the firing that began on Sunday night and continued for several hours is the first breach in ceasefire in the area since 2003.

It was learnt that the gunbattle started after Pakistani troops targetted Indian posts to push in a group of militants.

An Army official said: "Pakistani rangers fired on Chinar posts in Uri sector along LoC on Sunday at 9.00 pm." He went on to add that firing by the pak side was totally unprovoked and most of their attempts were aimed at facilitating infiltration by the militants.

The Indian Army has blamed the Pakistani counterpart for providing cover to the infiltrators who were trying to sneak into the Valley.

Sources said the Army would register a formal complaint with the Pakistani side on the issue.

Reports said that ceasefire violations by the Pakistani side are expected to go up in next few days as they may push in militants into the Valley ahead of the onset of winter.

This is the seventeenth time that Pakistan has violated the ceasefire along the international border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) in the last one month

On August 17, there was heavy cross-border small arms firing on Indian posts along IB in Abdullian and Korotona Border Out Posts (BoPS) from Pakistan in R S Pura sub-sector in which BSF jawan Chander Rai was killed.

There were two firing incidents and ceasefire violations by Pakistan in Pansar Boder Out Post (BOP) along IB in Samba sector and Krishnagati forward belt along LoC barely on August 15. Pakistan troops had fired on Indian posts in Krishagati belt of Poonch sector on August 15 as India celebrated its Independence day. The firing had continued intermittently till the next day.

Indian sources will of course claim that the firing was started by Pakistani forces, how about post a less bigoted source?

OIh you mean Pak media reports ? or western media report ??

its a yearly thing....before onset of winter. crossfiring are vommon to push in militants before closing of the mountains and passes
 
. .
Generally its not us who push so called freedom fighter into another country via Kashmir Border..do we???

does the OTHER COUNTRY has any reason to push freedom fighters into another country?
 
.
How about a factual ground report.
Some infiltrators started firing on check posts and Indian army ran away for cover?

Lets not start taking potshot at the soldiers and their capabilities.. You do know there are enough of those to go around for Pakistani army too on your western borders.... Right?? So lets stay on topic and insult each other instead of insulting the boys in Khaki or green... Ok??

I suppose you mean biased and not bigoted (which has some racial connotations )..
 
. . .
you see when ammo nears its expiry, both countries use it on each other instead of destroying it which would be waste of money. this way you might kill a few soldiers on each side and feel happy about it.

Why do they always say 'Rangers' Where is the Army??
