Pakistani troops again targeted Indian posts along the Line of Control in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. This was the fifth ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops in the last fortnight.

Defence sources said Pakistani troops resorted to firing from small arms on Indian posts along the LoC in Nangi Tekri area of Poonch district from last night mid night and continued upto early this morning.

Troops guarding the borderline fired back resulting in intermittent exchanges of fire. There was no death, injury or damage to anyone on this side of the LoC due to the firing, the sources said.

The incident has happened within 24 hours of a major infiltration bid which was foiled by the Indian troops in Kalsan area in Poonch district yesterday wherein two militants were killed.

Defense sources also said Pakistan has committed ceasefire violations 195 times along the Line of Control last year in Jammu & Kashmir.
