There is a “sharp decline” in cross-border firing incidents at the Line of Control and the International Border but recent sporadic firing incidents prove that India can’t lower its guard against Pakistan, Union minister Jitendra Singh said on Friday.
A BSF jawan and a woman were injured while several houses were damaged in cross-border shelling and firing by Pakistan Rangers, the first major ceasefire violation since 2021, in Jammu’s Arnia on Thursday night.
According to the Border Security Force (BSF), the unprovoked firing by Pakistan continued till 3 am on Friday and was “befittingly responded”.
