A six-year-old boy and a Border Security Force (BSF) soldier were killed in heavy shelling and firing by Pakistani troops along the International Border in Jammu's RS Pura sector. Another BSF soldier and eight civilians were also injured in the firing.
The injured soldiers were evacuated to a hospital in Jammu where one of them died late last night.
Pakistani Rangers violated ceasefire twice on Sunday in the RS Pura sector. Security personnel gave a "suitable reply", a BSF spokesperson said.
Another BSF jawan Gurnam Singh, who was hit in the sniper attack in Hiranagar sector along the International Border in Kathua district on Friday night, had died late on Saturday.
Warning Pakistan against any misadventure, a top officer of the border guarding force said that "we are ready for any eventuality".
"If they try to do anything, they will be given a befitting reply. We are fully prepared for that," BSF Additional Director General Arun Kumar said on Sunday.
Multiple ceasefire violations have been reported along the International Border and Line of Control after India conducted surgical strikes across the border in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to target staging areas for terrorists last month. Pakistan has denied the cross-border raids.
