Jammu: Pakistani troops fired at Indian positions in Mendhar sector along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district late yesterday night, a defence spokesman said today.
“Pakistani troops again violated the bilateral ceasefire by resorting to unprovoked firing at our positions in Mendhar sector of the LoC last night (Monday),” the spokesman said.
“The Pakistani firing started around 10.30 p.m. and our troops responded to the enemy fire,” he said.
