Pakistan violates ceasefire in Rajouri sector

JAMMU: Pakistani troops today fired at Indian posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, prompting the Army to retaliate.

Pakistani troops breached the truce by firing in the Sunderbani police station area, police spokesperson said.

The Indian Army retaliated effectively. No loss of life was reported in the exchange of fire.


Pakistani troops had yesterday opened fire in the Jhangar forward area in the district.

The ceasefire violation had come after a lull of over a week in firing by Pakistani forces at Indian posts.

Pakistan had violated the ceasefire for three consecutive days from November 15 to 17 in Jammu and Poonch districts.
