Meanwhile, three terrorists were killed in an encounter at Amshipora area of Jammu and Kashmir's Shopian district early today morning.
Meanwhile, Army spokesman, Lt. Colonel Devender Anand said that the Indian Army was retaliating befittingly to the Pakistani shelling.
India and Pakistan had agreed to ceasefire along the LoC and International Border (IB) in 2003. However, India alleges that Pakistan has been continually violating the terms of the understanding.
Earlier, Pakistan started indiscriminate, unprovoked shelling on the Line of Control (LoC) today in several sectors in Poonch and Rajouri districts.
Pakistan has been continuously violating bilateral ceasefire along the LoC, with senior Army officials terming it as being done to provide fire cover to terrorists to facilitate their infiltration into India.
A video footage by a drone camera released by the Indian Army on Friday shows precision targeting of a terror launch pad and an ammunition dump on Pakistan side of the LoC in Keran sector.
