Pakistan violates cease-fire in Poonch district, one Indian soldier killed | | A soldier was killed in indiscriminate firing by Pakistani troops in Krishna Ghati sector in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch District on Sunday night. The unprovoked
firing appears to have escalated tension along the border ahead of US President
Barack Obama's visit to India. Accoding to official sources, Pakistani troops
targeted the Indian posts of Kirpan, Kranti and Kirpan-II from their forward posts
of Chuha and Daaku. The Army is already aware of Pakistan's plot to create tension
along the Line of Control (LoC) as well as the International Border before and
during Obama's visit. According to defence sources, the movement of militants
has not been observed and intrusion bid, if any, made from across the LoC have
been thwarted. The Army and BSF is maintaining a high alert along the Line of
Control (LoC) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) in the Jammu sector to thwart infiltration
attempts by the militants.
