The deceased soldier has been identified as Naib Subedar Ravinder of Jhajjar in Haryana.
“Pakistan Army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation on the Line of Control (LoC) in Nowshera sector of Rajouri district. Own troops responded strongly to the enemy fire. In the incident, Naib Subedar Ravinder was critically injured and later succumbed to his injuries,” said a defence spokesman.
“Naib Subedar Ravinder was a brave, highly motivated and a sincere soldier. The nation will always remain indebted to him for his supreme sacrifice and devotion to duty,” added the spokesman.

“In the evening at about 1730 hours (5.30 pm), Pakistan again initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation in the Nowshera sector, prompting India to retaliate in equal measure,” he added.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) - a publicity wing of Pakistan’s armed forces - posted on its website that Indian troops initiated ceasefire violation in Khuiratta sector along LoC.
