Two days after the terror attack in Uri, Pakistani troops today violated the border ceasefire in the same sector of Kashmir, targeting Indian army positions with small firearms.
However, there was no damage in the incident, army said.
"Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing by small arms towards Indian positions in Uri sector this afternoon," an army official said.
He said the firing from across the Line of Control took place between 1.10 pm and 1. 30 pm.
The official said while there were no reports of any casualty in the firing, further details of the incident were awaited.
