The border observation post of BSF in
Sambha sector of Jammu region came under heavy firing late on
Thursday night from the Pakistani side with initial reports
suggesting that militants wanted to infiltrate into Jammu
region.

Highly-placed sources in the BSF said
that the incident took place at 2240 hours when the the BoP of
112 battalion of the BSF came under
intense fire from the Pakistani side.

The suspected militants fired nearly 1000 rounds and hurled 16
grenades at the BSF post, they said.

There were no immediate reports of causality from the Indian
side, which gave a befitting reply to the firing from across
the border, the sources said, adding there was no evidence so
far of direct involvement of Pakistani Rangers in the incident.
