Jammu, Apr 11: Indian and Pakistani troops today again traded fire across the Line of Control (LoC) Rajouri and Poonch districts, officials said.
“Paksitani troops initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars along the LoC from 1400 hours in Nowshera sector of Rajouri and from 1645 hours in Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch district,” a defence spokesman said.
He said the Indian Army is retaliating “strongly and effectively” and the exchange of fire between the two sides in both the sectors was going on when last reports were received.
There was no immediate report of any casualty from this side, he said.
The latest exchange of fire comes after two soldiers, rifleman Vinod Singh and rifleman Jaki Sharma, were killed in cross-border firing by Pakistan in Sunderbani sector of Rajouri on Monday.
