Another civilian was killed on Saturday during a ceasefire violation from across the border in Jammu and Kashmir's R S Pura Sector.

Earlier in the day, one civilian was killed and a Border Security Force (BSF) paramilitary soldier was injured.

The Pakistan Rangers again resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in the RS Pura and Akhnoor Sectors.

The Indian Army is retaliating and cross-border firing is still on as per latest reports.

Saturday was the third consecutive day of shelling of civilian areas and border outposts (BoPs) in India by the Pakistan Rangers.

On Friday, at least 11 civilians were injured across Jammu and Kashmir in the firing from across the border.
