Pakistan violates ceasefire again; resorts to heavy firing in Balakot sector

In yet another incident of ceasefire violation, Pakistani troops resorted to heavy firing in Balakot sector of Mendhar area in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district last night.

The Indian troops guarding the border retaliated effectively.

The ceasefire violation took place a day after Pakistan's Parliament unanimously passed a resolution against the alleged 'unprovoked and indiscriminate' ceasefire violations by India and asked the government to seek UN intervention to resolve the Kashmir issue.

The resolution, which was moved by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz, stated that the National Assembly condemned Indian ceasefire violations at the Line of Control ( LoC ) and the International Border (IB).
