Pakistan opened unprovoked fire yet again in Naushera sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, forcing Indian security forces to open fire in response.

A heavy gunbattle is underway and intermittent firing has been consistent since morning from Pakistan’s side. No casualties have been reported from the Indian side.

This comes after a spree of ceasefire violations last week by Pakistan after the surgical strikes conducted by the Indian Army on 29 September to destroy terror launchpads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Ever since, Pakistan has stepped up cross-border firing and has violated the Line of Control ceasefire at least 20 times.
