SRINAGAR, Aug 6: Pakistan said it had no intimation of shooting from its side of the Line of Control after India claimed on Wednesday that Pakistani soldiers had violated the ceasefire in occupied Kashmir.
Pakistani soldiers opened machine-gun fire just after noon on Wednesday and “we returned fire but there were no casualties,” Brig Gopala Krishnan Murali, a senior Indian army office in the region, said.
The skirmish lasted about 15 minutes, he said, adding that the army had stepped up vigil and patrol parties fanned out across the area.
“There was no initiation of fire from our side at all,” said Pakistan army spokesman Maj-Gen Athar Abbas.—AP
