According to Border Security Force (BSF), 7 Pakistani rangers and a terrorist were killed while retaliating to a ceasefire violation on the International Border in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir in which one BSF Jawan was injured. Pakistan Rangers, the border force of Pakistan, resorted to sniper attacks at Indian posts at Hira Nagar in Kathua, BSF said.

Seeking to suggest that the killings had been corroborated by Pakistani media, the BSF said "source input" claimed that Pakistan media was running a news item about the death of 5 Rangers.

After one of Constables Gurnam Singh was injured in a sniper fire attack, the response was strong from BSF. Singh, whose condition is considered to be critical, was evacuated with the cover fire to Government Medical College, Jammu. This firing from Pakistan was effectively retaliated and that has claimed the casualties of Pakistani forces, the release said.
