Pakistan Army reportedly crossed the Line of Control on Tuesday to enter Poonch district on Jammu and Kashmir in violation of ceasefire agreement between the two neighbouring countries.
The Indian Army's Nangi Tekri Battalion under the Krishna Ghati Brigade retaliated to the unprovoked firing in "a controlled and calibrated manner", said officials.
"On April 1, a mine blast occurred in the Krishna Ghati sector due to Pakistan Army intrusion across the Line of Control. This was followed by unprovoked firing and ceasefire violation by the Pakistan Army," ANI quoted a source as saying. "The situation is under control and being closely monitored."
