Srinagar, Aug 15 : Armies of India and Pakistan on Wednesday late evening exchanged cross-border shelling in Tanghdar sector of north Kashmir’s Kupwara district.
An official told GNS that Pakistani troops at around 9:00 pm attacked Indian army’s Black Rock Post, Sharart Post and Anil Post of 20 JAT Regiment with mortar shells.
