The Pakistani Army Wednesday resorted to unprovoked firing on Indian positions on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
Defence sources told IANS: "Pakistan army resorted to unprovoked firing at two of our posts on the LoC in Poonch district today evening."
They added: "They are using small arms and automatics to target our positions. Our troops have responded with equal calibre weapons.
"Pakistan firing started at 7 p.m. today and till last reports came, firing exchanges were still going on in the area."
The violation of bilateral ceasefire by Pakistan comes after a month's calm on the LoC and the international border in the state.
