Pakistani troops attacked the border on Monday as well. Their attacks even escalated to mortar and shelling on Army posts and civilian areas along the LoC. Three areas in Noushera sector in Rajouri were attacked on Monday.

On Monday, Pakistani troops conducted unprovoked firing. An Army spokesperson confirmed that Pakistani troops have indeed fired mortar bombs and Indian army retailed with their own force. Rajouri saw six violations of ceasefire.
