| The Pakistan Army on Wednesday denied the Indian Army's charges of firing by Pakistani troops across the Line of Control (LoC) in the Nowgam sector of the Kashmir Valley. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas termed the Indian claims as baseless and said that the Pakistani troops had fired at the Indian side. "There is no report of firing from any part of the LoC by Pakistani troops. Our troops did not violate the ceasefire," he said. India on Wednesday alleged that Pakistani troops had opened fire at Indian positions across the LoC. "Pakistani troops started firing at our positions on this side of the LoC in Nowgam again," army spokesman Lt Col AK Mathur said. "Our troops are maintaining restraint. We have asked the Pakistani troops to stop firing so that the situation does not escalate," he said. |
