India, Pakistan trade fire on LoC

Heavy firing exchanges took place on Thursday between Indian and Pakistan troopers on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, defence sources said.

"Our positions are effectively retaliating. Firing exchanges were continuing," the sources said.

Heavy shelling and firing exchanges between the two armies have been intermittently continuing for the last eight days in Poonch and Rajouri districts.
