Two soldiers died in firing by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control in Jammu Kashmir’s Sunderbani sector in Rajouri district last evening. The Indian side retailed after the ceasefire violation by Pakistan, the Army said today.
Last month, five members of a family were killed in heavy shelling by Pakistani forces this near the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had then said that the armed forces were retaliating appropriately to ceasefire violations by the Pakistani army “wherever necessary”, adding that the defences along the border were being periodically fortified to withstand any attack.
