Srinagar:
In another ceasefire violation in less than 24 hours, Pakistani troops fired on Border Security Force (BSF) post tonight in the Hiranagar sector in Jammu. Two jawans were injured in the firing.
The Pakistani Rangers targetted an ambush post of the BSF with rockets and small arms. The firing continued for one and a half hours.
The injured jawans were shifted to Samba district hospital.
Yesterday, the Pakistani Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing at a BSF post in RS Pura sector in Jammu.
According to BSF sources, the Rangers fired with small arms from Iqbal Shaheed post on the Pakistani side towards India's Kot Kuba post. The BSF retaliated to the unprovoked firing. There was no report of any casualty on any side.
The firing came close on the heels of the detection of 400-metre long Pakistani tunnel in the state's Samba sector on July 28 and subsequent lodging of strong protest over the issue by India on July 31. The BSF sources are not ruling out the possibility of cover fire to escort infiltrators across the Line of Control yet.
