Pakistani troops violate ceasefire, Indian soldier injured

Jammu: An Indian Army soldier has been injured in another ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops who opened fire in Shahpur area along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch sector, defence sources said on Thursday.

Pakistani troops opened fire in violation of the ceasefire on the borders around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, army sources said. One Indian soldier was injured.

Indian troops retaliated. The exchange of firing continued till 6 a.m on Thursday.

The sources said it was a clear case of ceasefire violation by the Pakistani Army. The ceasefire had come into effect in November 2003.


The guns have fallen silent but the troops are maintaining vigil, the sources said.

The LoC divides Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

India, Pakistan Armies Exchange Fire on Line of Control in Kashmir

An Indian army trooper was wounded in an exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistan armies on Line-of-Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir, Indian defense officials said Thursday.

The ceasefire violation took place Wednesday night along the LoC in Krishna Ghati area of the Poonch sector, around 255 km northwest of Jammu city, the winter capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

According to Indian army spokesman the ceasefire violation took place after Pakistani troopers resorted to unprovoked firing on Indian posts.

"Pakistani troops from a forward post fired several rockets and resorted to heavy machine gun firing on our posts in the Krishnaghati area. The firing first started Wednesday night at 10: 00 p.m., and continued for some time. Our troops also fired in retaliation and in the exchange. In the standoff one of our soldiers was wounded," said a senior Indian army official based in Jammu.

The wounded trooper was hospitalized and is undergoing medical treatment.

New Delhi and Islamabad in 2003 agreed to observe a ceasefire along the International Border and LoC in Kashmir. Though some violations have been reported on both sides, the ceasefire remains in effect.

A guerrilla war is also going on between militants and the Indian troops stationed in Indian-controlled Kashmir over the past two decades.

Any cause for it?
They arent stupids, to start firing for fun without a reason. There must be a strong one.
 
Srinagar: An Army jawan was killed on Monday as Pakistani troops opened fire on Indian positions in Nowgam sector, Kupwara district near the Line of Control (LoC) Jammu and Kashmir, Army sources said.

Sources said Indian troops came under heavy fire from the across the LoC at around 15:30 hrs IST at Khayan in Nowgam sector.

One Army jawan from 22 Rajput battalion has been killed. Sources added that Indian troops retailated with small arms fire.

According to sources, 15 Pakistani soldiers entered into the LoC in Kaiyan Bull in Nowgam. They approached the Forward Observation Post of the Indian Army and told them to vacate the post. Then they shot at one on the Indian sepoys on the post who fell down into the ravine.

India has asked for a flag meeting and ceasefire so as to recover the body of the dead sepoy.

However, the Pakistani army denied Indian claims and said Indian troops ''resorted to unprovoked firing'.


Pakistani troops immediately returned fire and the shooting from the Indian side stopped, the Pakistani army said in a statement.
This is the first violation of ceasefire between India and Pakistan in Nowgam sector.

Violations had been reported earlier in Tangdhar, Poonch and Rajouri sectors of the state earlier this year.

India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire along the International Border and LoC in 2003, which had held good till the beginning of this year. On July 10, the two sides accused each other of violating a 2003 cease-fire.

Looks like the ceasefire is over. There is a pattern of the anti India brigade across the border.
First the attack on Embassy in Afghanistan, Then consistent violation of the LOC and ceasefire. Then the bomb attacks in Bangalore and Ahmedabad and recovery of bomb making materials from Surat. Now an escalation at the border by Pak Army by violating the LOC and asking Indian troops to vacate its post on the Indian side.
We heard the GoP declaring the ISI would be under the interior ministry with more accountability. Is this their way of opposing this new rule? to show their independence from the Government? Or is the new "democratic" government back to the earlier policy of creating tension along the LOC?

Dangerous new situations are emerging for Indian Security.
 
Maybe it was a revenge of this:
