J&K: Pakistan violates ceasefire for the third time in a day

The firing was reported around 10 pm in Degwar area of Poonch. Three Indian Army posts were targeted.

The first violation of the day was at the international border in Kanachak sector near Jammu. Pakistani soldiers fired at two posts of the Border and Security Forces (BSF). One BSF jawan was injured and taken to the Jammu Medical College for treatment.

A BSF jawan injured in cross-border firing in Samba district on August 5 succumbed to his injuries on Sunday at AIIMS in New Delhi.

The LoC in Jammu and Kashmir has been a hotspot since Tuesday when five Indian soldiers were killed in firing from the Pakistani side. Defence Minister AK Antony has said that specialist troops of the Pakistan Army were involved in the attack.

The killings have sparked off intense outrage in India, with the Bharatiya Janata Party demanding that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh call off proposed talks with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif along the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York in September.
