Pakistan Rangers violated the ceasefire on Saturday again with heavy firing and mortar shelling overnight that targeted nine Border Outposts of the Border Security Force and civilians’ areas in Samba district along the international border, leaving a labourer injured.

After over a month-long lull, Pakistani troops Friday resumed the ceasefire violations along the international border, killing one civilian and injuring three so far. ”Pak Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing on BSF posts along IB in Samba sector from 2025 hours last night,” a BSF officer said on Saturday, adding that BSF troops carried out effective retaliation.

The Rangers fired on nine Border Outposts of BSF in areas between River Basantar and River Treva in Samba sector, he said, adding that they used 82mm and 51mm mortar shells.
