On Wednesday morning, security forces in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district were involved in a brief exchange of gunfire following a mine blast along the Line of Control (LoC), according to officials.
The explosion occurred under suspicious circumstances in the Krishna Gati sector, a forward area near the LoC, early in the day. In response to the blast, the troops stationed along the border opened retaliatory fire, but the incident was short-lived.
Despite the brief confrontation, no injuries or casualties were reported from the incident. However, local residents in the area reported hearing firing coming from the Pakistani side of the border, raising concerns about potential cross-border activity.
The situation remains under investigation, but the immediate impact of the exchange was contained, with no further escalation reported.
