India, Pakistan exchange fire on LoC

Jammu,Poonch: Indian and Pakistani troopers posted along Line-of-Control (LoC) in Kashmir fired on each other’s positions, officials said Friday.
The ceasefire violation took place along the LoC in Krishna Ghati area of the Poonch sector.
According to Indian army officials the ceasefire violation took place after Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing on Indian posts.
“Pakistani troops from a forward post fired several rockets and resorted to heavy machine gun firing on our posts in the Krishnaghati area.
The firing started late Thursday afternoon and continued for a couple of hours. Our troops fired in retaliation,” a senior Indian army official posted in Jammu division claimed.
However, no loss to life or damage to property was reported in the firing.
New Delhi and Islamabad in 2003 agreed to observe a ceasefire along the International Border and LoC in Kashmir. Though some violations have been reported on both sides, the ceasefire remains in effect.
A guerrilla war is going on between militants and the Indian troops stationed in Indian-controlled Kashmir over the past two decades. (NNI)
