SRINAGAR:
Pakistan
violated ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s
Kupwara
district late on Tuesday, resorting to
unprovoked firing
and mortar shelling on forward Indian posts and civilian areas, an Army official said on Wednesday.
The
breach
of truce took place in Kupwara’s Nowgam sector, to which Indian troops effectively retaliated, an official statement from the Army confirmed, adding that there were no casualties or damage suffered by own side.
This was the second such violation along the LoC in the same district on Tuesday. Earlier that morning, Pakistan had shelled Kupwara’s Tangdhar sector.
