Jammu : In an apparent bid to push in infiltrators, Pakistani troops opened unprovoked fire on Indian forward positions along the LoC in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, injuring one Indian soldier.
The Pakistani troops, in complete disregard to the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), opened fire late Saturday around 10 p.m., according to army sources. The firing continued for almost two hours.
The injured soldier has been identified as Sepoy Kundan Lal, who has been shifted to a military hospital for treatment.
The army sources said that this action of the Pakistani army has baffled the Indians. In recent times, Pakistan has refused to host a flag meeting of the two armies on LoC that divides Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries.
The ceasefire violations are following a pattern, the sources said. Pakistan army is desperately seeking to send infiltrators from across the LoC. But these attempts have been foiled by the Indian army and that has caused frustration among the Pakistanis, the sources added.
