Pakistan army Tuesday resorted to firing and shelling on forward posts and posts along the LoC in the twin sectors of Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.
"At about 2030 hours today Pakistan army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and intense shelling with mortars along the LoC in Manjakote sector, district Rajouri," a defence spokesperson said.
