JAMMU, Jan 1: Pakistan Army resorted to firing on the New Year eve at three posts of Army in Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch district last night. The infiltration attempts by the militants under the garb of covering firing of Pakistani troops couldn’t be ruled out.
Official sources said Pakistan Army started firing from their forward posts on the Line of Control (LoC) at Krishna Ghati sector at 11 pm last night. The firing continued for about two hours.
Indian side retaliated to ensure that the militants didn’t manage to infiltrate into this side under the cover of firing from across the LoC.
Troops conducted searches on the LoC this morning in entire KG sector. However, there were no traces of any intrusion on the LoC.
No casualties or damage was reported on Indian side during the firing, sources said.
During past several days, Pakistan Army had violated ceasefire on the LoC apparently to push trained militants into this side but had failed in their plan.
As reported, a number of militants were held up on the LoC and International Border awaiting an opportunity to sneak into this side.
