Terming the Indian claim of Pakistani soldiers’ casualties on Friday along the Line of Control (LoC) as false, the military’s media wing said no loss was reported from the Pakistani side of the border.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian forces resorted to unprovoked fire at the Working Boundary in Shakargarh sector, which was befittingly responded.
India’s Border Security Force (BSF) claimed it had killed one militant and seven Pakistan Rangers personnel along the Jammu border.

Development comes two days after Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing across the LoC in Karela sector, killing one civilian and leaving five others injured.
Tensions along the LoC have been high ever since India accused Pakistan of being involved in an attack on an army base in Uri on September 18, in which 19 Indian soldiers were killed. Islamabad has denied the charge, which Delhi levelled without any substantial investigation or evidence.
