Pakistani troops opened fire at Army posts and civilian areas in Poonch district on the Line of Control with automatic weapons and rockets for the fourth day in row today prompting the army to return fire.

The troops of the neighbouring country continued to violate the 2003 ceasefire agreement as they targetted the Indian side for the 22nd time in August.

"The Pakistan army at 10:15 pm today resorted to firing from across the Line of Control in the Sabzia-Mandi sector of Poonch sector," a defence spokesman said.

"Firing is on intermittently. Troops of our side of LoC are retaliating appropriately. No casualty and damage reported till last reports came in," the spokesman said.

Pakistani troops targeted posts and civilian area with mortar shells, Rocket Projectile Grenades and Pika rounds triggering panic among the people living along LOC in Poonch.
