Pakistan, India exchange fire
Wed Dec 29, 2010 3:36PM
Pakistani and Indian forces have exchanged fire at an international border post in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, violating a ceasefire agreement.
The exchange of fire took place in Samba district of the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir, about 45 kilometers southwest of Jammu, on Wednesday.
The incident lasted for 45 minutes, and was followed by a second ceasefire violation in less than 24 hours.
According to an Indian Border Security Force (BSF) official, the Pakistani troops fired at Indian pickets in Ramgarh, a sector of the international border in Jammu and Kashmir.
The BSF, therefore, plans to hold protests against Pakistani rangers, NDTV reported.
Indian troops also said Pakistan violated the ceasefire at the Line of Control (LOC) in Poonch district of Jammu on Tuesday.
No casualties or property damage has yet been reported.
New Delhi and Islamabad reached a ceasefire agreement along the Jammu and Kashmir frontiers back in November 2003.
The Indian Defense Ministry has reported that since 2006 there have been more than 150 ceasefire incidents, with 50 of them in 2010 alone.
