They said over half a dozen villages in forward areas were hit by the overnight shelling, resulting in partial damage to two houses.

The shelling was intense in Mendhar sector.

The Indian Army effectively retaliated but the casualties on the Pakistani side could not be ascertained immediately, the official said.

Panic-stricken people in border areas spent the whole night in bunkers and other safe places, they said.

A defence spokesman said the Pakistan Army initiated the unprovoked ceasefire violation by firing with small arms and lobbing mortars along the LoC in Balakote and Mendhar sectors.

On Saturday, Pakistan had targeted forward areas in Kirni and Khari Karmara areas of Poonch district.-PTI news
