Poonch:
In the second ceasefire violation in three days, Pakistani troops on Tuesday resorted to heavy firing on the Indian forward positions for one and half hours along the Line of Control in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. There was, however, no casualty, a senior army officer said.
The Pakistani soldiers fired rocket projectile grenades from 7.20 pm to about 8.50 pm in the Doda forward area of Poonch in one of the heaviest firings this year, said Col A Arora of 16 Corps of the army.
The Indian troops returned the fire, he said adding there was no casualty on the Indian side.
The Pakistani troops had also targetted Indian positions in Poonch sector last Sunday.
Col Arora said Tuesday's firing by the Pakistani troops was one of the heaviest this year measured in terms of the duration of the action and the weapons used.
