J&K: Four soldiers killed in Pakistani firing
Srinagar, Feb 4 (IBNS): The armies of India and Pakistan on Sunday exchanged heavy fire and shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch districts of Jammu and Kashmir, leaving four Indian army soldiers killed and five persons injured.
The injured included two army men, BSF assistant sub-inspector and two civilians.
DC Rajouri tweeted about the death of three soldiers and an officer.
Earlier in the day, two forces’ personnel and two civilians were injured in cross-LoC shelling in Rajouri and Poonch districts.
Meanwhile, warning Pakistan on ceasefire violation, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday that the country will shoot limitless bullets to retaliate a single shot from its neighbour.
Addressing a rally in Tripura, Singh said that he has given orders to the army to go heavy on Pakistan if it fires on Indian territory.
However, he said that India will not attack first as it wants to establish a cordial relationship with all its neighbours.
He added that Pakistan is trying to create unrest in India by constantly provoking Jammu and Kashmir.
