J-K: Pakistan violates ceasefire in Balakote, Manjakot sector

The Pakistan Army violated the ceasefire in Balakote sector of Poonch, and Manjakot sector of Rajouri, on 18 October morning.

The Indian Army is strongly retaliating to it and the firing is still on.

Earlier, four civilians, including children, were injured after Pakistan on 14 October initiated indiscriminate firing in Jammu and Kashmir's Bhimber Gali Sector along the Line of Control (LoC).

This unprovoked firing has been continuously witnessed from the Pakistani side across the border, in which many Indian security personnel and civilians have lost their lives.

The ceasefire violations, which amounted to 228 in 2016, have reached 503 this year (till 5 October).
