Jammu, Sep 21 (PTI) In yet another violation of the
ceasefire, Pakistani troops fired on Indian positions in the
Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir Sunday night, but there
were no casualties.

Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing on Indian
posts in Mendhar and Krishanghati between 1955 hrs and 2020
hrs Sunday, Brigadier General (Staff), 16 Corps, Gurdeep
Singh told PTI.

There were no casualties, he said adding Indian troops
did not retaliate.
