“Pakistan violated ceasefire by resorting to firing at P-1and P-2 posts in Shahpur Sector of district Poonch,” said a police official.

The violation comes only two days a 22-year-old civilian was injured in another ceasefire violation by the Pakistani Army in Poonch.

On Saturday the Pakistani troops opened fire from heavy weapons and mortars from across the border in Debraj, Krishna Ghati and Ishapur in Mendhar sector starting at around 10.30 am, prompting retaliation by Indian troops guarding the border, a police official said.
