In yet another ceasefire violation along the Line of Control(LoC) and the second in 24 hours, Pakistani troops on Tuesday fired light and medium machine guns at an Indian border post in Poonch sector of Jammu and Kashmir.



There was cross-border firing from LMGs and MMGs on the Sabzian Forward Defence Location along the LoC this afternoon, a senior army officer of the 16 Corps told PTI. However, there were no casualties or injuries to anyone on the Indian side.



Infiltration attempts from Pakistan and ceasefire violations have been on the rise in recent months with such incidents happening at regular intervals.



Firing was going on intermittently from the Pakistan side and troops guarding the border have retaliated, the officer said.



The reports also said two mortars were fired from Pakistan, which exploded away from the border post.



"There was no casualty on our side in the firing from across the border", the officer said.



It appears that the firing is aimed at giving cover to infiltrating militants, he said, adding that the troops along the border are alert and vigilant to foil any fresh infiltration bids.

Pakistan had started funny business to release pressure from USA.
