Pakistan violates ceasefire again, heavy gunbattle underway

Srinagar: Pakistan once again violated the cease fire and attacked at least four Indian army troops on Sunday in the Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir to which the Army gave a befitting reply. No causality was reported. The gunfire is still underway.

It may be recalled that Pakistan has been continuously violating the ceasefire ever since the surgical strike was conducted by the Indian Army in Pak occupied Kashmir (PoK) on September 29 last. The troops had opened fire along the LoC in Pallanwala, Chaprial and Samnam areas of Akhnoor sector of Jammu district on September 30, a day after the strike.

“Pakistan troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations in Sunderbani and Krishnagati sectors in Rajouri and Poonch district,” Defence PRO Manish Mehta had said.
