JAMMU, Mar 23: Pakistan army today again resorted to unprovoked firing and motar shelling on forward posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch sector.
The small arms firing from across the border in Poonch sector started at around 5.30 pm, sources said.
Pakistani troops targeted Shahpur and Kerni areas, forcing people to take shelter inside their homes.
Some structures were damaged in the firing and shelling.
The Indian Army retaliated befittingly, sources said.
There was no report of any casualty on the Indian side in the latest ceasefire violation by Pakistan.
