Pakistan again targets posts in Poonch sector


The Pakistan army again opened heavy fire targeting nine Indian posts last night in the Krishna Ghati (KG) sector along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district. “Around 8 pm, the Pakistan army again opened heavy fire, firing over 2,300 rounds of HMG (heavy machine gun) and MMG (medium machine gun) on nine Indian posts in the KG sector,” said the officiating Defence PRO, SN Acharaya.

Pakistan opened fire from five of their posts but we exercised restraint and didn’t retaliate, he added.

Though there was no casualty or injury on our side, the situation is tense in the KG sector, he said.

The official claimed that Pakistani troops continued firing at the Indian posts till 8.40 pm. No flag meeting has taken place as yet, he said. However, an Intelligence source said heavy exchange of fire between the two sides started around 7 pm and lasted till 11 pm.



“Both sides traded heavy machine gun fire in which three soldiers of 653 Mujahid Regiment were killed,” he said.

Pakistani troops had opened fire from Daku, Battal, Roza, Pimple and Chuha posts, he added.

“Our troops, particularly from Chajaman and Ghora posts, gave an effective response to the Pakistani troops,” said the source.

The source said Pakistan may again resort to violation of ceasefire tonight.

During the intervening night of November 25 and 26, Pakistan had opened heavy fire on 10 Indian posts for over four hours in the same sector firing over 6,000 rounds of heavy machine gun.

On June 13, Pakistan had sniped at border guard PK Mishra and Lance Naik Harvinder Singh, killing them instantly in the same sector.

Pakistan had also injured four other soldiers. The situation had escalated to such an extent that the Army had to move an artillery battalion from Mendhar to the KG sector.

The truce deal between the two countries had come into force on November 26, 2003.
