| Jawan killed in Pak firing in Poonch | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
RAJOURI, Aug 10: To facilitate infiltration by militants, the Pak troops today resorted to ceasefire violation on the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch, killing an army jawan who was guarding on a forward post.
The Pak firing was totally unprovoked and aimed at providing cover to militants waiting across the LoC to sneak into India to disrupt the forthcoming Independence Day celebrations, official sources said.
Sources said in the firing, which began at about 6.15 pm, sepoy Alok Pandey of 5 Maratha Light Infantry was killed on the spot after a bullet pierced through his body. He hailed from Kohlapur.
He was guarding the forward Peer Post in Mankote sub-sector of Poonch when the Pak troops targetted him, the sources added.India retaliated. The exchange of small arms fire between the two sides continued for quite some time. Loss, if any, on the Pak side was yet not known, sources said.
