Pakistani Rangers fire in Samba sector in J&K, BSF retaliates

JAMMU: Pakistani Rangers today fired along the International Border (IB) in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir, in an apparent bid to scare away a leopard on their side, even as BSF troops retaliated.

Pakistani Rangers fired a few rounds along IB in a Samba sector area on their side early this morning, a BSF officer said.

BSF troops also fired back, the officer said, adding that the troops saw a leopard later which could have been a reason for the Pak rangers to open fire.

No one was injured in the firing, he said.
