Srinagar, Aug 18: Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri sector with unprovoked shelling this evening, although there was no loss of life, police said.
"Some mortar shells were fired by Pakistani forces on the Thajal-Chranda area of Uri (in north Kashmir's Baramulla district)," Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Baramulla, ImtiyazHussain said. One of the shells hit a washroom adjacent to a house in Thajal and damaged it, he said.
No loss of life has been reported, the SSP added. However, three militants were killed today as the Army foiled an infiltration attempt along the Line of Control (LoC) in Tangdhar sector of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
"Militants were trying to infiltrate from across the LoC in Tangdhar sector in Kupwara district of north Kashmir. Three of them were killed," a police official said, adding a search operation was on in the area.
Further details were awaited, the official said.
Director General of Jammu and Kashmir Police (DGP) S P Vaid also confirmed the killing of militants.
