Jammu: Army on Saturday said that Pakistani troops targeted Indian forward posts with small arms and automatic weapons along the Line of Control in Poonch district prompting Indian forces to retaliate.
“Pakistani troops opened unprovoked firing from small arms and automatic weapons at our forward posts in Bhimbher Gali sub-sector in Poonch district around 2230 hours yesterday,” PRO Defence Lt Col Manish Mehta said.
The Indian troops took positions and responded with equal calibre weapons to Pakistan’s firing which resulted in intermittent exchanges of fire, he said.
“There was no loss of life or damage to property in the firing on this side of LoC,” Lt Col Mehta said.
It is the second ceasefire violation by Pakistan this month, he added.
