Pakistani troops on Wednesday opened fire at an Army patrol along the Line of Control in Keran sector of Jammu and Kashmir, leaving a soldier injured.

An Army official said that “necessary and adequate” response has been given to the Pakistani firing.

“Pakistani troops resorted to unprovoked firing along the LoC in the early hours today. One soldier was injured in the incident,” the Army official said.

However, according to police sources four jawans were injured as Pakistani troops targeted a foot patrol of the Army at Gogaldara.

One of the jawans was airlifted to Army’s 92 Base Hospital in a critical condition, the sources said.
