Brief exchange of fire along LoC in Poonch

A brief exchange of fire took place along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, security officials said.

They said an Indian Army post came under fire from a forested area across the LoC around 11.30 am in Gulpur sector.

They said soldiers retaliated and the exchange of fire lasted for a very brief period. There was no damage on the Indian side, the officials said.

They said it was not immediately clear whether the Pakistan army was behind the firing, or it was terrorists hiding in the forests and waiting for an opportunity to sneak in. — (PTI)
