SIALKOT-
Pakistani and Indian troops exchanged fire at Sialkot’s Charwa sector on Wednesday, according to a report quoting the Chenab Rangers.
The crossfire broke out when Indian troops opened unprovoked firing towards Pakistani territory. Retaliation by Pakistani troops silenced the Indian guns.
No casualties were reported.
In the past few weeks, Pakistani and Indian border troops have exchanged fire in several incidents at the Line of Control. 20 people have been killed in the events, altogether from the two sides.
The two countries have been blaming each other for the ceasfire violations, straining ties between them.
On Tuesday, India warned Pakistan of more “pain” if it continued to violate a ceasefire on their disputed border in Kashmir and said it was up to Islamabad to create the conditions for a resumption of peace talks.
The statement comes a few days after army chief General Raheel Sharif vowed to thwart any “aggression” against the country, in a thinly-veiled warning to arch rival India after a spate of deadly cross-border firing incidents in Kashmir.
