Police officials and residents carry an injured person to a hospital after firing and mortar shelling by the Pakistani Army along the LoC in J&K’s Krishna Ghati sector on February 28, 2019.

A woman was killed and a jawan injured as the Pakistani army shelled civilian areas and forward posts in six sectors along the LoC in J&K’s Poonch and Rajouri districts on Thursday, drawing heavy retaliation from the Indian forces, an official said.

“The Pakistan army continuously resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations in Sunderbani, Mankote, Khari Karmara, Degwar Sectors in J&K,” a defence spokesperson said.
