Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], Jul 9 (ANI): Pakistan Army on Sunday initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch sector along the Line of Control (LoC).

The Indian Army is retaliating strongly and effectively to the firings.

In retaliation, two Pakistani soldiers were also killed and six others were injured by the Indian security forces.
