The Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars in the wee hours of Thursday in the Poonch Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.

Indian Army retaliated strongly and effectively to the ceasefire violation which took place around 1.30 a.m.

In the cross firing, two soldiers sustained minor injuries and were evacuated to the nearest Military Hospital.

Earlier yesterday, the Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Bhimber Gali sector.
