Jammu: An Indian Army soldier was allegedly killed after Pakistan Army resorted to a shelling on Sunday at Indian positions along the Line of Control in Krishna Ghati sector of Poonch district.

‘Gur Sevak Singh of 22 Sikh regiment was martyred in Pakistan firing today (Sunday),’ defence sources told IANS here, adding that the ceasefire violation also continues in Balnoi area of the district.

At least four places came under shelling and firing which has been started at 8:40am to target civil and defence facilities in the area, a police official said here.
