In continued ceasefire violations, Pakistani troops resorted to night-long firing and mortar shelling – targeting six Border Out Posts (BoPS) in Arnia sector along the Indo-Pak border in

Jammu district, forcing BSF to retaliate effectively. According to a BSF spokesperson, the troops used small arms and fired 82 mm mortar shells, triggering panic among villagers located

along the borderline. BSF troops, guarding the borderline with Pakistan, subsequently took position and retaliated, resulting in exchanges which stopped at around 5 am today. There has been

no firing since then, the official maintained. According to the BSF spokesperson, there was no loss of life or damage to the property in the firing exchanges. The situation is currently

being monitored and troops have been alerted. PREVIOUS CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS There have been three ceasefire violations by Pakistan troops in the last 12 hours along the international border
