Violating the ceasefire again, Pakistani troops targeted forward Indian posts along the Line of Control with rockets, mortars and resorted to heavy firing in Poonch district in the wee hours on Thursday.
Pakistan troops attacked the Indian forward posts in Krishnagati sub-sector of the district around 0100 hours, Brigadier General Staff, 16 Corps, Brig S Dua said.
Dozens of mortars and rockets were fired, which exploded away from the posts without causing any damage, he said, terming it as an "unprovoked act".
Indian troops guarding the border, took positions and fired back resulting in heavy exchanges for over two hours, he said, adding there were no casualties on both the sides.
"It is ceasefire violation and it was aimed at infiltrating militants into this side of the LoC,", he said adding, "we have lodged a strong protest with our Pakistani counterparts and called for a flag meeting over the incident".
