The firing began at 9.30 am, Defence Spokesperson Manish Mehta said. The ceasefire violations led to retaliation from the Indian side, which is still on. The spokesperson also claimed that Pakistan carried out indiscriminate firing from 5 am to 5.45 am in Bhimbher Gali sector along the LoC earlier on Wednesday.
