"Pakistan is acting with vengeance. The agreement arrived between the Prime Ministers of both the countries has not been accepted by the army the people of Pakistan," said Congress leader P.C Chacko.

India has lodged a protest with the Pakistan High Commission over the two consecutive ceasefire violations by the country in Jammu and Kashmir's Akhnoor sector today.

Three civilians were severely injured, after Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing in RS Pura sector and Shahpur sector of Poonch.

According to reports, Pakistani forces started unprovoked firing on Indian posts around 2:00 a.m., which was retaliated by the Indian side.
