Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Oct, 2014 10:32 AM
    The Pakistani Army Friday again broke the ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), opening unprovoked firing at Indian positions in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, a defence officer said. No casualty was reported.
     
    "The Pakistani Army resorted to unprovoked firing at our positions in Saujian area of the LoC in Poonch district at 2 p.m. using small arms and automatic weapons," defence spokesman Col. Manish Mehta told IANS here.
     
    "Our troops retaliated with same calibre weapons. Firing exchanges continued in the area up to 3.50 p.m. No casualty or damage has so far been reported on our side," he added.
     
    Pakistan had violated ceasefire on the same area of the LoC Thursday resulting in injuries to six civilians and damage to six houses.
     
    After a lull of nearly one month, Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire Oct 1 in Poonch district.
