Pakistan again violated ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) on Monday by intense shelling and firing in J&K's Poonch district.

Defence ministry spokesman, Colonel Devender Anand, said that at about 7.45 p.m. on Monday, Pakistan initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and intense shelling with mortars along the LoC in Khari Karmara sector of Poonch district.

"Indian army is retaliating befittingly," he said.

Pakistan has been violating bilateral ceasefire with impunity along the LoC in Poonch and Rajouri districts to provide fire cover to intruding terrorists, senior army officers said.
