In yet another ceasefire violation along the Line of Control, Pakistani troops on Monday evening fired small arms and rockets on Forward Defence Locations in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir, a senior army official said.
Pakistani troops in Kadu post fired small arms and at least five rockets on the Indian Army’s Kranti post in Krishnaghati sub-sector in Poonch from 6.10 pm till 7.40 pm on Monday, he told PTI .
However, there were no casualties or injuries to anyone on our side, he said.
The officer said Indian troops manning the Line of Control also retaliated and there was a brief exchange.
It appears that the firing was aimed to cover infiltrating militants from Pakistan side, he said.
Troops have further intensified patrolling and are keeping a close watch on the movement despite the thick fog along the LoC.
Earlier in the day, BSF troops had foiled two infiltration bids by militants along the India-Pak border in Jammu region.
