RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Indian border forces opened fire along the working boundary in Sialkot’s Shakargarh and Charwah sectors, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Thursday morning.
In a statement, the ISPR said that the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) targeted civilian population in villages.
The Pakistani troops effectively responded to the firing, the Pakistan military’s media wing said.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Director General ISPR Major General Asim Bajwa said that the country wanted peace on its borders, but was ready to respond to any form of aggression from its neighbours.
“We do not want to disrupt peace but if the other side resorts to aggression then it will be responded accordingly,” the DG ISPR said.
