Pakistan security forces on Saturday violated the ceasefire at the international border by firing a rocket from across Wagah border into Punjab and exchanging heavy firing in Sidhwarah area in Jammu.
A total of four rockets were fired at the Wagah border shortly after midnight. Two of hem landed near the Kaangarh area that is hardly 500 metres from Wagah.
The other two landed in Mote gaon which is about 2 km from the border. The village has a population about 5000.
As of now, there has been no report of any damage.
The BSF held a meeting with the Pakistan Rangers at 3 am and lodged a strong protest. Pakistani Rangers have denied firing the rockets.
In a familiar incident last September, it was found that it was terrorists who had fired two rockets.
In another incident of violation, Pakistan security personnel exchanged heavy firing with the Indian troops in the Sidwarah area of Pargwal about 50 km from Jammu.
The firing started around 3:25 am and lasted for about 20 minutes in foggy conditions.
The BSF returned the fire. The firing from the Pakistani side followed a familiar pattern and it is suspected that they were trying to push in terrorists.
The Army, BSF and the local police have rushed to the spot to check if the fencing has been breached.
Heavy fog had prevented an immediate search operation.
A red alert has been sounded on the Jammu-Akhnoor highway to nab any possible infiltrator.
