Srinagar: Pakistani troops on Saturday targeted Indian security positions in Kathua, RS Pura and Keran sectors along the International Border and Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, injuring a BSF jawan while another BSF jawan was killed accidentally while retaliating to the cross- border shelling and firing.
A BSF jawan was injured in fresh shelling by Pakistan troops in Keran sector, a senior official of the force said this evening.
He said the jawan was admitted to a medical facility for treatment.
“The unprovoked Pakistani aggression is being effectively retaliated,” he added.
A woman Shaheena Begun was injured in Keran sector along the LoC in Kashmir in shelling by Pakistani troops this morning, officials said.
They said the Indian army retaliated the “unprovoked” Pakistani aggression “in equal measure”. BSF constable Nitin Subhash sustained grievous injuries last evening when an explosion inside the chamber of the long range weapon led to a recoil while he was firing in retaliation to ceasefire violation from across the LoC in Machchil sector, BSF IG (Kashmir) Vikash Chandra said.
“Subhash was injured due to recoil and was admitted to a medical facility where he succumbed late last night,” the official said.
