After reported incidents of Chinese troops trying to infiltrate the LAC in the recent times, the fresh report of intrusion comes from LoC now.
Apparently, Pakistani troops breached ceasefire after they fired heavily at the Indian troops trying to rescue the porters attacked in the blasts on July 8 in Poonch, this morning.
"Pak troops have targeted Indian posts by firing rocket projectile grenades (RPGs) and heavy machine guns along LoC in Doda Battalion forward area in Poonch district since 0730 hours today," a senior Army officer said.
Indian border troops wreaked vengeance, resulting in heavy exchange of firing that went on for five long hours. However, no casualty was reported during the firing.
In the wake of sudden violence along the LoC, army officials are keeping a strong vigil around the clock to avert further attacks.
The firing triggered panic among the people living in the Shahpur Kerni forward belt in Poonch.
“This is fifth ceasefire violation in July this year. On July 3, Pakistan violated ceasefire when it fired on cops, who had gone on LoC in Sabzian, Poonch to collect the body of the of a Pakistani intruder killed in IED blast on July 1.”
