Pakistani troops resorted to yet another ceasefire violation in Saujiyan sector of Jammu and Kashmir.
Indian troops have retaliated to this unprovoked firing that started at 10 pm last night and lasted till 1 am. Reports state that the ceasefire violation was carried out using 80mm and 120mm mortars. The Ministry of External Affairs on Sunday summoned Pakistan High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, to register its protest over recent ceasefire violations.
However, Basit blamed India for the cross border firings and said that the Pakistan Government is concerned about it. "We are concerned about the ceasefire violations. In the month of July and August, there have been close to around 70 ceasefire violations from this side of the working boundary. We are obviously very concerned about it," Basit said.
Heavy shelling and firing by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district on Sunday left at least six civilians dead and 15 others injured.
