A personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) was injured after Pakistani forces violated ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu.
The BSF stated that the incident took place in wee hours at around 2.35 am, where Pakistan Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing in the Akhnoor area from across the border. The BSF gave a befitting response to the same where one BSF personnel sustained injuries.
