SRINAGAR: Two Border Security Force (BSF) personnel and some civilians were injured on Thursday night in the intermittent exchange of fire and motor shelling in the Arnia sector along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir.
Several houses were hit by the mortar shells after Pakistani troops targeted five Indian posts along the border, media reports said.
The unprovoked firing from across the border triggered panic among the residents, and people moved to safer locations, and took shelter in Bunkers and temples.
Reports suggest that two BSF Jawans and four civilians sustained injuries in the unprovoked firing by Pakistan Rangers. The injured are receiving medical aid at a local hospital.
Notably, this is the second ceasefire incident this month in the same area. Earlier, on October 17 two BSF jawans were injured in firing by Pakistan Rangers.
India and Pakistan had signed a ceasefire agreement pact in February 2021, to observe strict ceasefire along the Line of Control.
