The Pakistan Army on Thursday violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Samba Sector.

Earlier, Pakistani army violated ceasefire in Arnia Sector at around 7 p.m. on Thursday. One civilian was injured in Pakistan shelling in Arnia.

In both the ceasefire violations, the Indian Army is strongly retaliating to the intermittent firing by Pakistan.

Further details are awaited.

These ceasefire violations come a day after one army jawan lost his life in Jammu and Kashmir's Keran Sector.

Earlier in the week, two Pakistani terrorists were killed after the Border Security Force (BSF) troops foiled an infiltration bid across the international boundary in the Ajnala Sector near Amritsar, Punjab.

When challenged by the BSF troops, the infiltrators fired along the ambush line with automatic weapons.

Taking cover, the fire was appropriately retaliated and infiltrators were neutralised near the Border Security Fence.

The forces also recovered four packets of Heroine, one AK-47 Rifle, one AK Mag, one pistol, one mobile phone, and Pakistani currency worth Rs. 20,000.
