Pakistani troops on Tuesday violated a 2003 ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district using automatics and small arms to target Indian positions.

Defence Ministry sources said the Pakistanis resorted to unprovoked firing on the Line of Control (LoC) in Naushera sector.

"Firing is still going on," an official said.

Pakistan Rangers on Monday used mortars and automatic weapons to target civilian and military facilities on the International Border in Jammu. The attack killed a Border Security Force trooper and a minor.
