Jammu, Oct 29 (IANS) In another ceasefire breach, Pakistan on Thursday began firing and shelling with mortars along the Line of Control (LoC) in J&K's Poonch district.
Defence Ministry spokesman, Col. Devender Anand, said that at 5.10 p.m., Pakistan initiated an unprovoked ceasefire violation in Shahpur sector of Poonch.
"Indian Army retaliated befittingly," he said.
