A 15-year-old girl was injured as Pakistani forces violated ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir today, officials said.
Pakistani troops targeted forward posts and villages along the LoC in Shahpur sector and the exchange of fire between the two sides was on when reports last came, a police official said.
