Two women were on Thursday injured in indiscriminate firing by Pakistani troops in Kerni area along the Line of Control in Poonch sector in fresh ceasefire violations, drawing retaliation from Indian troops.
Pakistan Army troops opened fire with small and automatic arms on forward posts in Poonch on Thursday at around 12:05 pm defence spokesman Col RK Palta said.
The firing from across the border prompted Indian troops to retaliate, leading to intermittent exchanges which were on when reports last came in, he said.
The injured women have been identified as 12-year-old Hassana and 32-year-old Noor Jahan. The women have sustained injuries in the firing by Pakistani troops, Shamsher, SSP Poonch, said.
