Two shepherds mistakenly cross over to India from PoK; sent back by Indian Army

Meanwhile, Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing from small and automatic weapons on Indian positions in KG sector along the LoC in Poonch district last night. Pointing out that the Indian side too retaliated, the spokesman said that the exchange of fire between two sides continued from 2305 hrs to 2310 hrs. However, there was no damage or injury on the Indian side.

Since the beginning of current month, there has been sudden increase in incidents of ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts from across the LoC. Only recently, one army jawan was killed and two others injured following attack on a patrol party by Pakistan’s Border Action Team near the LoC in Pallanwalla area of Akhnoor.
