An exchange of fire took place in the Shakargarh sector of Narowal district.
“Yesterday’s incident in which four Pakistani troopers died on the border in Jammu and Kashmir followed the killing earlier in the day of an Indian border guard”, said Rakesh Sharma, BSF inspector general for the Jammu Frontier.
“We have retaliated effectively … four Pakistani rangers have been killed along the International Border in Samba sector this evening,” said Sharma.
Moreover, the Press Trust of India claimed that four Chenab Rangers personnel were killed in BSF’s “retaliation” after a border security force man lost his life in heavy firing from the other side on a patrol along the border in Samba district.
