Jammu/May, 15: A Border Security Force (BSF) man was on Tuesday killed in cross-border firing on the international border (IB) in Samba district of the Jammu province.
“Pakistan rangers started ceasefire violation at 1.30 a.m. They resorted to unprovoked firing at the BSF positions on the IB in the early hours.
“BSF constable, Devinder Singh, was injured in the firing. He succumbed to his injuries later,” a BSF official said here.
The Indian positions retaliated effectively and strongly. Firing exchanges between the two sides continued for nearly three hours, he added.
There had been comparative calm on both the Line of Control (LoC) and the IB for nearly two months in the Jammu region.
