Srinagar, Sep 23 (IBNS): Two Border Security Force (BSF) troopers and three civilians were injured in a heavy border firing between the Indian and Pakistani army, media reports said on Saturday.

The police told media: "The two troopers and three civilians were injured in the overnight Pakistan ceasefire violation in R.S. Pura and Ramgarh sectors."

"The Pakistan Rangers used mortars, automatics and small arms to target over half a dozen BSF posts and civilian areas in the firing that started at 10 p.m. Our troops effectively retaliated," the police added.

Residents of the border areas have started to shift to safer areas.
