One BSF jawan was injured as Pakistan Rangers resorted to sniper firing on the International Border (IB) in Jammu on Friday.

A BSF spokesman told The Hindu that Pakistan sniper firing took place on an observation post at around 12 noon in Jammu’s Arnia Sector on the IB.

Constable K.K. Appa Rao received bullet injury and was immediately evacuated to Jammu for medical treatment, said the spokesman. “His condition is stable,” he added.

The incident took place two days after Pakistan and Indian armies held a flag meeting in Jammu to discuss ceasefire violations.
