A Border Security Force (BSF) jawan was killed when Pakistan Rangers fired at a patrol party along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Samba district, drawing heavy retaliation from the Indian force in which three posts were damaged and two rangers injured.
“Pakistan Rangers fired at the BSF patrol in Samba sector around 0930 hours today,” a senior BSF officer told PTI. He said that due to the unprovoked firing, constable Tapan Mondal sustained serious injury and later died.
The security forces shot dead a terrorist at Samboora in Pulwama, officials said. Security forces launched a cordon-and-search operation in Samboora village of Pampore area this evening following information about the presence of some terrorists there, the officials said.
As the security forces were conducting searches, the terrorists opened fire, they said, adding that a gunfight ensued as the forces retaliated. (PTI)
