Pakistan violates ceasefire on LoC in J&K's Poonch

Pakistan used small arms fire and mortar shelling on Monday to violate the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) in J&K's Poonch district.
Defence spokesman Colonel Devender Anand said, "At around 7.45 p.m. today Pakistan used small arms fire and mortars to violate the ceasefire on the LoC in Mankote sector of Poonch district. The Indian Army is retaliating befittingly."

Pakistan has been violating the ceasefire on the LoC in J&K with impunity in recent years.

Thousands of people living close to the LoC are in constant danger because of the cross border shelling. - IANS
