Pakistan Rangers on Monday used mortars and small arms to target Indian positions on the international border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmi's Samba sector.

The Rangers fired a few rounds using small arms at the BSF border outposts in Jammu and Kashmir at 8.45 a.m., a Border Security Force officer said.

"Again at 9.35 a.m., they used small arms and 51 mm mortar fire to target our pickets at three places," the official added.

The BSF replied befittingly. No loss of life or damage was reported from the Indian side.
