 "Pakistan violates ceasefire along IB in Arnia")
Pakistani rangers today violated ceasefire by resorting to brief firing along the international border in Jammu's Arnia sub-sector, just hours after it was hit by a terror strike.
"There was a few rounds of firing from Pakistani side on our positions in Pital border outpost area in Arnia sub-sector today," a senior BSF officer said.
BSF troops, however, observed calm and did not retaliate, he said, adding, there were no reports of any casualty.
Modi is due to address a rally today in Udhampur district, which is 100 km from Arnia. The attack also coincided with the SAARC summit in Kathmandu attended by Modi and his Pakistan counterpart Nawaz Sharif.
