Pakistan on Tuesday violated the ceasefire, the second in three days, in Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir which was responded "appropriately" by India, an army official said.

"There was an unprovoked ceasefire violation in Uri sector from across the Line of Control at 8.00 am," Colonel GS (IW) Brijesh Pandey said.

He said the incident was of "localised nature".

This was the second ceasefire violation in three days in Uri Sector of Kashmir. On Saturday, a soldier and a girl were killed in unprovoked Pakistani firing.
