The extent of the casualties on the Pakistan side is not yet clear.

The Pakistani troops opened 10 to 15 rounds without any provocation in a rare ceasefire violation in recent times.

India and Pakistan, the two arch-rivals, renewed their ceasefire agreement on February 25, 2021.

Two Indian soldiers were killed in action after terrorists launched a suspected Improvised Explosive Device [IED] in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu and Kashmir on February 11.

A day prior to that attack, one soldier was critically injured along the LoC by gunfire in the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir.
