"Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Line of Control (LoC) today in the forward areas of Krishna Ghati sector," Jammu-based defence spokesman Lt Col Manish Mehta said.
The ceasefire violations took place at 1700 hours. One soldier was injured in small arm fire from forward posts of Pakistan. The Indian troops retaliated appropriately, he said.
The injured soldier, identified as Lance Naik Bhupinder Singh, was evacuated and shifted to an army hospital, where his condition is stated to be critical, a police official said.
Pakistan has already violated the ceasefire 11 times in September this year.
