In yet another violation of ceasefire, Pakistan resorted to unprovoked firing along Indo-Pak International Border in Jammu on Friday, claiming the life of one Border Security Personnel (BSF) in RS Pura Sector.
"Firing in Heeranagar area was on during the intervening night of May 16 and 17 in which one BSF trooper was injured. Yesterday, during the daytime, it stopped but Pakistan resumed firing last night in the Arnia sector which claimed the life of a jawan early today," a senior official of the border guarding force said.
The official added that in the RS Pura sector of the IB in Jammu, unprovoked shelling of mortars and heavy fire from the Pakistani side started at about 4 am today which was being "suitably countered" by the BSF units.
"The firing in the RS Pura sector has stopped now," he said.
This is the second case of ceasefire violation within three days. Earlier on Wednesday, another BSF soldier was killed in ceasefire violation by Pakistani army along the International Border in Samba district.
The latest ceasefire violation comes just a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Jammu and Kashmir.
