In a fresh ceasefire violation, Pakistani troops
tonight fired at Indian posts along the Line of
Control (LoC) in Poonch sector of Jammu and
Kashmir, but there was no casualty on the Indian
side. Pakistani troopers resorted to small and medium
weapon firing in Balnoi forward area along the
LoC at 20.05 PM, PRO Defence S N Acharya told PTI
here. Indian troops guarding the borderline retaliated
resulting in exchange of fire which continued till
22.50 PM, he said. There was no loss of life on the Indian side in the
Pakistani firing, the Defence PRO said. Meanwhile, Pakistan military sources in
Islamabad alleged Indian troops had resorted to
"unprovoked firing" in the Tatta Pani-Handrot
sector of the LoC, which had witnessed a string
of clashes that triggered tension between the
two neighbours last month. They alleged that there was "unprovoked firing"
by Indian forces in the Tatta Pani-Handrot sector
of the LoC this evening. They said there was no
report of casualty and the firing was "still in
progress" without specifying the time. A string of clashes along the 742-km LoC last
month marked the worst violations of ceasefire
that was put in place by India and Pakistan in
late 2003. Two Indian soldiers were killed
including Lance Naik Hemraj who was beheaded
by Pakistani troopers in the Poonch sector. India had strongly protested to Pakistan about
the killing of the two jawans. The clashes had
sparked a war of words before the Directors
General of Military Operations of the two sides
agreed on steps to de-escalate the situation.
