Indian, Pakistani troops clash on LoC

Jammu, Nov 17: Indian and Pakistani troops clashed along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Friday, defense officials said.

The Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked firing at Indian positions at five places on the LoC.

"They used mortars, automatics, and small arms to target our positions in Digwar, Shahpur, Khari, Karmara, and Malti areas," the officials said.

The Indian Army retaliated "strongly and effectively", the officials added. Shelling and firing exchanges are still going on.

This is the second ceasefire violation by the Pakistan Army in this region in the last 48 hours.
