A junior commissioned officer (JCO) was martyred on Tuesday morning in Pakistani shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in the union territory (UT) Jammu & Kashmir’s Rajouri district. The deceased has been identified as Subedar Sukhdev Singh. “The JCO sacrificed his life in the line of duty in Pakistan’s ceasefire violation in the Nowshera sector of Rajouri district,” said a spokesperson of the Indian Army. India retaliated to Pakistan’s unprovoked act, he added.
