A 70-year-old woman was among two persons injured as Pakistani Rangers opened fire and lobbed mortars along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir early today, triggering panic among border residents and forcing many to take shelter in government-run camps.
“The cross-border firing and shelling continued unabated and has spread to all sectors from Akhnoor to Samba along the IB,” a senior BSF official said.
He said BSF troops guarding the border retaliated effectively and exchanges between the two sides were continuing when reports last came in.
