Jammu: A Border Security Force (BSF) trooper was killed when Pakistan resorted to “heavy unprovoked firing” on a border post in Jammu and Kashmir, an official said on Friday. The firing by Pakistan Rangers took place Thursday night, spreading panic in the area, and continued Friday morning.

Violating a ceasefire, the Rangers opened fire at Abdullian post on the international border (IB), 35 km west of Jammu, with small and heavy arms and also fired mortars killing a soldier identified as Chander Rai, from Assam.

“This was one of the heaviest instances of firing by Pakistani Rangers since the ceasefire was agreed to by India and Pakistan in November 2003,” a BSF official said. (IANS)
