A Border Security Force (BSF) Jawan was killed as Pakistan violated ceasefire again by opening heavy fire on the Indian side in the Nowgam sector of Kupwara along the Line of Control on Sunday.
When Pakistani troops targeted the BSF post, it triggered heavy exchange of gunfire which continued for at least half an hour on Sunday night.
Pakistan also targeted three BSF posts and fired 25 to 30 rounds in the Arnia sector in Jammu. BSF jawans responded to the intermittent firing. There was, however, no report of any loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing.
"Pakistani Rangers resorted to small arms firing on BoPs along the International Border (IB) in Arnia sector of Jammu district at 18:52 hours and 19:15 hours today," a BSF officer said.
They fired 25 to 30 rounds at BSF posts, he said, adding that BSF troops guarding the borderline with Pakistan took position and retaliated. The firing stopped at 18:55 hours. The firing by Pakistani Rangers resumed at 19:15 hours and the exchange between Pakistani Rangers and BSF troops continued for over 80 minutes and stopped at 20:35, he said, adding that there was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing.
