“Heavy shelling and firing started between the two armies in Mendhar and Mankote areas, “ a Defense official said.

“After the Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked shelling and firing at Indian positions, Indian military retaliated strongly and effectively,” an official said. “Shelling and firing exchanges are going on.”

Pertinently, a teenage girl was killed in Indian firing in Pakistani side of Poonch when the Indian army allegedly fired on the forward posts of Pakistan in Poonch sector along the Line of Control.
