ISLAMABAD: Pakistani troops and Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) exchanged fire across the Line of Control (LoC) on Defence Day, Inter-Services Public Relations said.
ISPR said Indian troops resorted to "unprovoked firing" in the Nezapir sector around midnight on Monday. Firing continued until 10am Tuesday morning, the statement said.
No casualties have been reported so far on either side of the working boundary.
Pakistani troops issued a 'befitting response' to the BSF's 'unprovoked firing', the ISPR said.
Despite a 2003 border ceasefire agreement signed by both countries, cross-border firing along the working boundary is intermittent with both parties frequently accusing the other of breaching it.
A ceasefire violation was also reported on Aug 14 as troops exchanged fire on Pakistan's Independence Day.

One wishes the politicians in either country stopped demonising the "enemy". The "Enemy" is always a solider from the lower economic strata of the society, Indian or Pakistani, trying to meet ends meet. He is firing bullets in response to orders from a superior.
When a stray bullet hits and kills an innocent, an entire family goes to grief, never the politician who is pandering to the "feel-good" factor of senseless nationalists.

Its time both sides grew up, all this is counter productive to the peace process. On a day where sides should be celebrating, we exchange bullets, whatever happened to exchanging laddoos?

Pak media claims unprovoked firing from Indians while Indian media claims unprovoked firing from Pakistan.
Pak media claims more Indian casualties while Indian media claims more Pakistani casualties.
Aren't we two nations following same design since separation? Aren't we get bored?

Fire exchanges at LOC,while sweets exchanged at Wagah. It is upto both the governments to prefer sweets over fire, and work for peace instead war.
