The Pakistan army on Thursday opened heavy fire and shelled forward areas and posts in four sectors along the LoC in Rajouri and Poonch districts, officials said.

The Indian Army effectively retaliated.

This is the third consecutive day that the Pakistan army has targeted hamlets and posts with mortar bombs and heavy firing triggering fear and panic among the residents along the LoC in Poonch district.

Pakistan also opened fire along the international border (IB) targeting hamlets and border outposts (BOPs) in the Hiranagar sector of Kathua district overnight, they said.

�At about 9 am, the Pakistan army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and shelling with mortars along the LoC in the Shahpur, Kirni and Qasba sectors in Poonch district and also in the Nowshera sector of Rajouri district,� a Defence spokesman said.
