Indian BSF fires at LoC on Eid day: ISPR

ISLAMABAD: Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) resorted to firing along with the Line of Control (LoC) at Jammu and Kashmir sector on Saturday morning, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

The incident was reported on the first day of Eidul Fitr at Neza Pir sector. However no casualties have been reported so far.

Director General ISPR Major-General Asim Bajwa in a tweet said, “Indians fire across LoC at Nezapir again. Pattern shows they resort to such violations every festive occasion. Ironic they violate and also accuse.”

The recent spree of firing at LoC has been started earlier this week. Pakistan claimed that three people were killed and five others injured in Sialkot's Chaprar sector, whereas another person was killed in firing across the LoC in Rawalakot's Neza Pir sector in separate instances of unprovoked firing by Indian BSF personnel.
