Jammu:
In yet another violation of the ceasefire, Pakistani troops on Thursday opened indiscriminate firing on Indian posts in Kishnaghati area, along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir as Indian forces were engaged in preventing a major infiltration bid nearby.
",Pakistani troops opened indiscriminate firing on a forward post along the LoC in Krishangati belt in Poonch district late on Thursday afternoon,", defence spokesperson Col S D Goswami said.
No one was injured in the firing, the spokesman said.
However, a Pakistani military spokesman said it was the Indian forces which had opened fire.
The Indian spokesman said that posts on the LoC came under a barrage of fire from the opposite Pakistani positions, but said Indian troops did not retaliate.
Army sources said that the firing on the Indian post came even as Indian forces just 3 to 4 kms away were engaged in foiling a bid by about 20 militants to cross over.
",The infiltration bid was foiled. Militants were forced to retreat back to Pakistani territory,", the Army spokesman said.
He said a protest was lodged with the Pakistani authorities over the unprovoked firing at a flag meeting of local commanders.
