Srinagar, Oct 30 (IANS) Pakistani Army troops fired several mortar rounds at the Indian positions in the Keran sector of Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district Thursday, an Indian defence spokesman said here Friday.
This is the first major ceasefire violation on the LoC this year.

Pakistani Army fired 14 mortar rounds at our positions in the Keran sector of the LOC Thursday night, Lt. Col J.S. Brar told IANS.

“There was also some movement in the area and our troops retaliated with small arms fire. During the search of the area, bodies of two terrorists were found along with arms and ammunition,” Brar said.

An identity card of the Pakistani Army was also recovered from one of the slain terrorists.

“We have recovered two AK-47 rifles, one UBGL, one satellite phone and one mobile phone with a Indian SIM card,” he said.

“We have sought a flag meeting to convey our concern over the ceasefire violation in no uncertain terms,” Brar said.
