Two army personnel were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district after Pakistan troops opened heavy fire and shelled mortars along the Line of Control (LoC) in a ceasefire violation on Friday, a defence spokesperson said.
“The Pakistani army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) in Sunderbani sector of district Rajouri today (Friday),” the official added.
