Pak violates ceasefire along LoC in Kupwara

SRINAGAR: Pakistan violated ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district late on Tuesday, resorting to unprovoked firing and mortar shelling on forward Indian posts and civilian areas, an Army official said on Wednesday.
The breach of truce took place in Kupwara’s Nowgam sector, to which Indian troops effectively retaliated, an official statement from the Army confirmed, adding that there were no casualties or damage suffered by own side.
This was the second such violation along the LoC in the same district on Tuesday. Earlier that morning, Pakistan had shelled Kupwara’s Tangdhar sector.
