Jammu: The Pakistan Army Sunday targeted forward posts and villages along the LoC in Rajouri district with mortars and small arms firing, a Defence spokesman said. This is the third consecutive day that Pakistan has violated the ceasefire. The cross-border firing took place even as Indian Air Force jets carried out a “preemptive strike” targeted at Jaish-e-Mohammed training camps across the border.
