Mortar shells were used in the firing that started from the Pakistani side at around midnight.
In yet another ceasefire violation that comes after a two-day lull, Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing last night, targeting two Border Security Force (BSF) posts in RS Pura sector of Jammu & Kashmir.
Mortar shells were used in the firing that started from the Pakistani side at around midnight. Some of the mortars landed in villages causing some damage. "The BSF has retaliated...effectively," a senior police officer told IANS.
Meanwhile, firing which was halted for some time in the morning, has now resumed.
Two days ago, Pakistani troops fired at Indian posts near the border in Jammu and Kashmir, in the first ceasefire violation since New Delhi called off talks between the two countries on Monday. A spurt in attacks that violate the 2003 ceasefire along the Line of Control, the de facto border between the two countries, also cast a shadow on the talks.
