India, Pakistan trade heavy fire on LoC

The Indian and Pakistani armies traded heavy fire on the Line of Control (LoC) on Tuesday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, a Defence Ministry spokesman said.

“At 10 a.m., the Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation using small arms and shelling with heavy calibre weapons in the Sunderbani sector,” Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand told here.

“The Indian Army is retaliating strongly and effectively,” he added. The firing was still on.
