POONCH, Aug 14: After a lull of over four months, the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) was violated again with Pakistan Army firing at two places and shelling mortars in Poonch sector. "The Pakistan army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation along the LoC in Poonch sub-sector of Jammu," defence spokesman, Lt Col Manish Mehta said. He said the Pakistan Army resorted to heavy mortar, small arm and automatic weapon fire in Poonch sector at about 3 am.
"Our troops are responding appropriately and no casualties or damage to our troops was reported till the report last came in. The firing was still going on," the spokesman added.
Today's ceasefire violation comes after over four months as the last such incident took place on April 10 this year in Poonch sector. Earlier Pakistan had violated ceasefire on September 18, 2015 in Balakote sector of Poonch district. Last year, 16 civilians were killed and 71 others injured in 405 incidents of cross-border firing by Pakistan, he said. While 253 incidents of ceasefire violations took place along the International Border, 152 were reported along the LoC, he said. Around 8,000 people were temporarily affected due to the ceasefire violations and had to be shifted to safer locations. |
