On Monday, Pakistani Army violated the ceasefire yet again at night by firing automatic weapons and mortar shells on the posts at the Line of Control in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. The intermittent firing prevailed all day on Eid in different areas of Poonch and Rajouri districts.
This was some hours after the forces near the Wagah border exchanged sweets, which marks the end of Ramadan and marks Eid-ul-Fitr. The Pakistani Army has time and again violated ceasefire along the LoC to cover infiltration bids during June.
A defence spokesperson said “The Pakistani Army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing from small arms and automatic weapons and shelling of mortars along the LoC in Bhimbher Gali (BG) sector in Rajouri district from 2015 hours.”
The Indian Army responded to the firing immediately. In the back to back ceasefire violations, one Jawan was seriously injured.
