Jammu: In the first ceasefire violation
this year, Pakistani troops fired at
Indian posts along the Line of Control
in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch
district this morning.
The Indian soldiers retaliated and the
exchange of fire lasted for over an
hour, a senior army officer said adding
"there were no casualties on our side
of the border".
Pakistani troops opened small arms
fire on the Indian positions in Ghambir
forward area at around 0600 hours
after the army had earlier foiled an
infiltration bid.
"It was a ceasefire violation as the
firing came from Pakistani posts," the
officer said.
A group of four to five militants, trying
to sneak into India, fired at troops
patrolling the Ghambir forward area in
Bhimber Gali sub-sector late last night,
he said.
The troops fired back forcing them to
flee to Pakistan, the officer said.
In December last year, there were
four truce violations by Pakistani
troops along the border in Jammu and
Kashmir.
