(MENAFN) An Indian army official reported intense exchanges of gunfire between Indian and Pakistani forces along the Line of Control (LoC) on Monday, with both sides reportedly targeting each other's positions.
According to local news sources quoting the official, "During the intervening night of May 4 and 5, Pakistan army posts resorted to unprovoked small arms fire across the LoC in areas opposite Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani and Akhnoor." The official further stated that the "Indian army responded promptly and proportionately."
Monday marked the eleventh straight day of alleged ceasefire breaches along the sensitive LoC, according to sources within India.
