Pakistani soldiers on Tuesday violated ceasefire in Poonch district by firing two rounds of rocket launchers towards an Army camp along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Krishna Ghati sector, an army officer said.
Indian soldiers did not retaliate to the “deliberate provocation” to avoid civilian casualties across the border, said the officer, asking not to be named.
He said the rockets aimed at the army camp in Jhulas area of the Krishna Ghati sector were fired around 10.30 am but did not cause any damage.
The firing of rockets was a deliberate attempt to instigate a strong reaction from the Indian Army since Pakistan is observing Kashmir solidarity day. There was a possibility of civilian casualties in view of the public rallies across the border,” he said.
The latest ceasefire violation ended several days of lull in the firing from across the border.
Since the beginning of the New Year, Pakistani soldiers have been regularly violating the ceasefire, especially along the LoC in Jammu division.
A few incidents of ceasefire violations were also witnessed along the International Border in January.
