An Army official said that under great risk, the Indian Army team dug out an unexploded live bomb from the village and destroyed it at a safe place. The operation was undertaken swiftly by the disposal team, ensuring no loss of life and property or any collateral damage.

The Indian Army retaliated strongly. No loss of life was reported. The Pakistan violated ceasefire in the morning and the firing continued till 1:00 pm.

The MEA said that India had called upon Pakistan several times asking them to adhere to 2003 ceasefire understanding. The MEA statement came a day after the Pakistan Army retrieved the bodies of two of its soldiers neutralised by the Indian Army at the LoC. Pakistani troops had to raise white flag to retrieve the bodies. |
