An Army soldier was killed and three were injured as Pakistan violated ceasefire for the second consecutive day along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Monday, officials said.
The exchange occurred in Keri Battal forward area and details are awaited, they said. Around 5.30 am, the Pakistani Army violated the ceasefire by shelling mortars bombs and firing small arms along the LoC in the Sunderbani sector, a defence spokesman said.
He said the Indian Army retaliated effectively.
Border skirmishes witnessed a spurt after India's pre-emptive air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammad terror camp in Pakistan's Balakot on February 26 following the February 14 Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.
Four civilians, including three members of a family, were killed and several others injured as Pakistan targeted dozens of villages in over 100 incidents of ceasefire violations along the LoC in the state, especially in the districts of Poonch and Rajouri.
