indiaUpdated: Sep 30, 2019 02:21 ISTSix persons, including a 12-year-old boy, were injured as Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the second consecutive day by targeting forward posts and villages with mortar shelling and small-arms firing in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Sunday, an official said. While four of the injured — three women and the boy — were rushed to a hospital, efforts were on to shift the other two, district development commissioner of Poonch Rahul Yadav told PTI. A defence spokesperson said the firing and shelling from across the border in the Balakote sector along the Line of Control (LoC) started at about 3.15 pm. “Three women and a boy have received splinter injuries in the Pakistani shelling on their villages. Pakistani officials, however, said that a woman and a boy were killed due to Indian mortar shelling in a border village in the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) region.
