Security personnel escape Pak rocket attack at Attari border

Security personnel had a narrow escape when two of the four rockets fired from Pakistani side fell close to their post near the Attari border but did not explode, drawing retaliation from the BSF. A BSF official said that while two rockets landed in an agricultural field in the border villages around Attari border last night, the rest two failed to explode.<br/><br/>No casualty has been reported. According to officials, the BSF troops present during night duty opened retaliatory fire. Immediately after the incident, BSF held flag meeting at around 3.00 AM with Pakistani counterparts who denied any firing from their side.<br/><br/>Officials said that due to dense fog, BSF personnel were finding it difficult to locate the exact location where the two rockets fell and exploded in agriculture fields. They said that the two rockets which did not explode after falling on Indian Territory were traced at Kahangarh post where 35 BSF personnel were on duty.
