Pak Violates Ceasefire in Kupwara

Srinagar: Pakistan violated ceasefire on the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district resorting to unprovoked, intense shelling and firing, defence sources said. The Pakistan army initiated the violation late on Tuesday along the LoC in Naugam sector.

“They used small arms and mortars to target Indian positions. Indian Army retaliated befittingly,” sources said. Pakistan also violated ceasefire in Tangdhar sector of the same district earlier yesterday.

Heavy firing exchanges continued for several hours between the two sides in Tangdhar and Naugam sectors.
