In Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire for the fifth consecutive day today increasing the arch of firing and shelling along LoC by targeting scores of Indian posts and civilian areas in three districts of Jammu, Rajouri and Poonch. <br/><br/>The unprovoked firing and shelling prompted the troops guarding the borderline to retaliate effectively. Defence sources said that the latest escalation from Pakistani side is apparently aimed at helping militants to infiltrate from across the border ahead of Independence Day to carry out attacks in Jammu and Kashmir. <br/><br/>There have been four ceasefire violations in three sectors of Krishnagati, Bhimbhergali and Pallanwala in Poonch, Rajouri and Jammu districts overnight and a total of seven such violations since yesterday. However, there is no report of any causality or injury to anyone from the Indian side.
