Pak violates ceasefire in four sectors

Pakistan troops on Wednesday violated the border ceasefire four times as they resorted to heavy shelling and firing on Indian posts and civilian areas in Poonch, Rajouri and Kupwara districts of Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian troops retaliated to the firing which was still on.

“Pakistan troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations in Sunderbani and Krishnagati sectors in Rajouri and Poonch district from 1700 hours and 1730 hours today,” Defence PRO Manish Mehta said.

A senior army officer said ceasefire violations have also taken place in Mendhar sector of Poonch and Macchil sector of Kupwara. There have been eight ceasefire violations since Tuesday along LoC. Agencies
