India’s Border Security Force (BSF) once again resorted to ‘unprovoked’ firing at Nakial, Bagh and Kailer sectors along the Line of Control (LoC), Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Tuesday. 

"Pakistani troops gave a befitting response to the Indian firing," Radio Pakistan quoted ISPR as saying.

Earlier this week, a woman was killed as India’s BSF resorted to ‘unprovoked’ firing at Jandrot sector along the Line of Control.
