    A Defence Ministry official said the Pakistan army started shelling and firing at Indian positions in Khari Karmara area of the LoC in Poonch district.

    "Pakistan firing started at 8.30 p.m. yesterday (Tuesday) and continued for nearly half an hour. Our troops retaliated effectively and strongly", the official said.

    Tuesday's ceasefire violation came after ten days of lull on the borders.
