A day after border areas in Jammu’s Arnia witnessed heavy firing from Pakistan, officials said at least six posts of the Border Security Force (BSF) were targeted with mortars and machine guns.
A senior government official said they were analysing the reasons behind the current flare-up on the International Border (IB) – the second such incident in the past 10 days – but the cause remains inexplicable to them.
The Pakistan border has largely remained silent since February 25, 2021, when the Directors-General of Military Operations (DGsMO) of India and Pakistan agreed to a “strict observance of all agreements, understandings and ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) and all other sectors.”
