Earlier on Monday Pakistan opened fire at the Indian troops in Digwar sector of Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir. Indian security forces have also retaliated.

The ceasefire violation from the Pakistan side comes after India had on March 9 summoned the Deputy High Commissioner of Pakistan and expressed deep concern over continued ceasefire violations in Jammu and Kashmir.
