The Indian army allegedly violated the border in Sialkot, Charwah and Haryal sector. On retaliation by Rangers personnel, the firing from the Indian side came to a halt.
There have been at least 55 incidents of ceasefire violation by Indian troops since July this year.
Just one week ago, on August 11, unprovoked firing by Indian soldiers in Charwah sector near the Sialkot working boundary killed a woman and injured two others.
Rangers sources had said that a mosque was also damaged in the incident.
Pakistan had summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner to the Foreign Office and lodged a protest over the incident.

@Prognosticator:
In his first speech on independence day of India, Mr. Modi promised toilets for 600 million Indians!!!
As an Indian, you rather say this: we can live another 1000 years without toilets but not shift our stand on Kashmir!
@Bakhtiyar Ghazi Khan: " Shame on Indian terrorist soldiers taking advantage of internal stability in Pakistan. " ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sir what is internal stability in Pakistan?
I think enough is enough, and India should show some spine.How come govt is allowing Hurriyat to meet Pak ambassidor? And even the above report is so biased.Pak soldiers acctually started firing at BSF.
Shame on Indian terrorist soldiers taking advantage of internal stability in Pakistan. Hate you India, you are worse than British or Israelis.
Unable to understand the real issues, in India hordes of newspaper report pakistan violated ceasefire and started firing into Indian region while in Pakistan newspaper reports India started firing into Pakistan. Which version is correct? Why there should be firing at first place? Can't issues be settled by talks?
@Asad: This is peace you get for firing across border. You get paid back in same coin.
Moody is playing its part now to save N.S . Sorry but PTI is more intelligent and they have enough. These LOC voilations will now be used as an excuse by N.S and its Indian Co. To divert prople attention towards issue of national integrity. But national integrity is already at stake.
Pakistan should respond aggresively and close this chapter once and all.
Following is Reported by Times of India about Pakistan :
JAMMU: In a major ceasefire violation that lasted throughout the night, Pakistani troops resorted to heavy mortar shelling and fired with automatic weapons at 20 border out posts and civilian areas along the international border in Jammu sector, leaving a villager injured.
"Pakistan Rangers armed with heavy weaponry resorted to heavy mortar shelling and firing of automatic weapons on 15 to 20 border out posts (BoPs) in Arnia and R S Pura sub-sectors in Jammu district around 2130 hours last night", a BSF officer said here today.
any idea which side is interested in keeping the Kashmir issue alive and burning and who is the Beneficiary and who is the loser ?
Pak army and Pak government is doing this deliberately just to divert attention of the people of Pakistan from Imran Khan's rally. People of Pakistan should understand this logic.
Enough is Enough..we should take hard stand against India
Let the winter come the guns will be silent .... Indian have the answer y but , Pakistani need to think what India get by firing ? I guess no big terrorist activity going in Pok and Indian is in no way favour to bring Kashmir issue in limelight . Den y India will first fire ?
So , we can easily say who fire first and who retaliates and funny part is " On retaliation by Rangers personnel, the firing from the Indian side came to a halt" But in reality firing was going on from 9Pm to 7Am and dey say what !!
It is the problem with the pakistani army, they are trying to provoke the Indian side by firing intermittently.
They pakistan army never want peace & good relations with india.
It is just a mere to encash the kashmir issue..
The soldiers in the picture are not Pakistani rangers, rather Indian BSF. Please get your facts straight before posting.
@Asad: Please read the comment by Prognosticator
this is the 'peace' we get for returning their soldier
Enough of this drama please. The former Chief of Air Staff of Pakistan Mr.Asghar Khan has made it very plain that Pakistan resorts to firing across the LoC just to keep the Kashmir Issue alive in the minds of the people and the international community. As an Indian, I'll say this: you can keep this up for 1000 years and we'll not shift from our stand on Kashmir incl PoK.
Funny way to help Nawaz.......?
