The Army on Tuesday said Pakistani troops violated ceasefire in Baramulla district's Uri sector on Tuesday, just two days after a deadly militant attack left 18 soldiers dead.
A Srinagar-based Army spokesman told The Hindu that the violation was reported in Uri in the afternoon. Sources said Pakistani troops opened fire from small arms in a mountainous area. The fire continued for more than 20 minutes.
"No fire was reported thereafter. There is complete silence in the area," said a police officer.
