Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire on the International Border (IB) in Jammu's Arnia Sector on Tuesday. It was the first such incident since February 2021 when the two countries renewed their pledge to abide by the 2002 ceasefire agreement.
A Border Security Forces (BSF) spokesman said Pakistani rangers resorted to unprovoked firing on a BSF patrol in the Arnia Sector on Tuesday morning.
"On September 6 morning, the alert BSF Jammu troops gave a befitting reply to the unprovoked firing by Pakistani rangers on BSF patrolling party in Arnia Sector," the spokesman said.
