In Jammu and Kashmir Pakistan forces resorted to heavy firing and shelling on Indian forward posts and civilian areas in Samba and Jammu sectors along the Indo-Pak international border last night which prompted BSF to retaliate effectively. According to BSF sources, targeting border posts and civilian areas with heavy arms, Pakistan Rangers started unprovoked firing midnight last night. The BSF troops guarding the border gave a befitting reply to the firing and the exchange of fire lasted up till this morning. However there is no report of any causality or injury to anyone on Indian side.

Earlier yesterday, three Pakistani Rangers were killed after BSF retaliated effectively to the Pakistan shelling and firing in Samba sector during the day in which one BSF jawan was killed and another injured while mortar shells and bullets fell in fields and close to civilians houses at Khwara, Regal, Suchetgarh, Kullian and Mawa areas. The BSF also opened firing in Arnia sub-sector and injured an infiltrator, who was trying to infiltrate into the Indian Territory.
