Poonch, Nov 6 (IBNS): While an Indian soldier was killed in a fresh ceasefire violation from Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district early on Sunday, the army claimed that it has foiled two infiltration bids by the neighbouring country's troops along the LoC.

The soldier was killed in Krishna Ghati (KG) sector of Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

According to reports, Pakistani troops fired mortar shells on Indian side.
