A civilian was injured in fresh ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops in the Pir Panjal valley’s Poonch district on Saturday, the Army said.
An Army spokesman said Pakistani troops initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation around 9 a.m. by firing small arms and shelling with mortars along the Line of Control in Mendhar Sector, Mankote and Krishna Ghati. Zaffar Ullah Khan, a deputy sarpanch in Mankote tehsil, was injured when a shell exploded in the area. The Army personnel manning the LoC retaliated strongly, the spokesman said.
