In continued ceasefire violations, Pakistani troops resorted to night-long firing and mortar shelling targeting six Border Out Posts along the Indo-Pak border in Jammu district, forcing the Border Security Force to retaliate effectively.

"Pakistani Rangers resorted to firing and mortar shelling targeting six BoPs along International Border in Arnia sector of Jammu district throughout the night", a BSF officer said in Jammu.

They used small arms and also fired 82 mm mortar shells targeting BoPs in the sector triggering panic among villagers located along the borderline, the officer said.

The BSF troops, guarding the borderline with Pakistan, took position and retaliated, resulting in exchanges which stopped at around 5 am on Monday, he said, adding that there was no firing since then.

There was no loss of life or damage to the property in the firing exchanges, he said, adding the situation is being monitored and troops have been alerted.
