Jammu, November 19
The Pakistan Rangers opened fire and shelled border outposts (BoPs) and hamlets along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district, leaving a woman injured, officials said on Thursday.
The Pakistan troops targeted several BoPs and few hamlets in Manyari, Sapwal and Karol Krishna late Wednesday night, prompting an effective retaliation by the BSF, the officials said.
In the exchange of fire, which continued till Thursday morning, a woman in Manyari village sustained injuries.
The shelling has triggered panic among border residents.
“We have been facing heavy firing and shelling each night. It has become a regular feature. Two shells exploded in our compound,” said Kuldeep, a Manyari resident.
Several houses and structures have suffered damage in the shelling, he added. — PTI
