Two Army jawans were killed as Pakistan Army violated ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir’s Sunderbani sector along the Line of Control (LoC) and shelled the sector with mortars, the New Indian Express reported.
“Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars from 1715 hours (5.15 PM) in Sunderbani sector along the Line of Control (LoC). Indian Army retaliated strongly and effectively,” defence spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand said.
“However, in the exchange of fire, Rifleman Vinod Singh and Rifleman Jaki Sharma were grievously injured and succumbed to their injuries,” the spokesman added.
The two jawans were identified as Rifleman Vinod Singh and Rifleman Jaki Sharma. Singh, 24, belonged to Village Danapur, in Jourian of Akhnoor in Jammu district and Sharma, 30, belonged to Village Sanhail, in Hiranagar of Kathua district.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
