Srinagar:
A Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO) of the Army has been critically injured in an encounter with terrorists along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Akhnoor sector, officials said today.
In February, two soldiers were killed in action in a suspected improvised explosive device (IED) attack by terrorists in the Akhnoor sector.
The ceasefire comes two days after India and Pakistan held a brigade commander-level flag meeting in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district to discuss issues related to border management. This was the second such meeting since February in an effort to de-escalate tension after nearly a dozen incidents of cross-border firing and the IED attack.
The ceasefire violations along the LoC have been rare since India and Pakistan renewed the ceasefire agreement on February 25, 2021.
