The Pakistan Army resorted to heavy shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on June 9, prompting strong retaliation by the Indian Army, an official said.
“At about 6.30 a.m. today, the Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and intense shelling with mortars along the LoC in Mankote sector in Poonch district,” a defence spokesman said.
The Indian Army is retaliating befittingly, he said.
Till last reports came in, shelling exchanges were still going on in the area.
