Pak troops open fire at Jammu and Kashmir border | The Border Security Force (BSF) hindered major infiltration bids by militants to enter Indian territory on Tuesday as Pakistani troops fired at two forward posts in the Samba sector. Firing began on Monday night from the Pakistani side. The BSF retaliated after Pakistani troops opened fire at the Kandral border
outpost. This is the fifth case of ceasefire violation within a week. The officials
posted at the site claimed that a BSF patrol party noticed some movement of militants
at two posts - S M Pur and S M Pur-one - in Ramgarh sub sector of Samba and
challenged
the militants. Inspector General (IG) of BSF, Jammu frontier, A K Sarolia said
a red alert has been sounded across the region and patrolling has been intensified.
The militants did not succeed in infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir added the
BSF IG. In a pre-dawn attack on Sunday, border outposts at Londi and Bobiya were
targeted and at a flag meeting held, India decided to lodge its protest against
ceasefire violation. A BSF jawan was killed on Saturday, while two others were
injured in the cross border firing that took place at the Kranti post near the
Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch. |
