A Border Security Force (BSF) soldier, injured in Pakistani firing in Jammu and Kashmir's RS Pura sector, has died, an official said.
The soldier was evacuated to a hospital in Jammu after he was injured in firing from across the border last night. He died in hospital.
Pakistan Rangers violated ceasefire twice on Sunday in the RS Pura sector along the International Border (IB), using mortar shells and firing small arms.
Security personnel gave a "suitable reply", a BSF spokesperson said.
Firing is still on.
On Friday night, Pakistan Rangers had targeted the border villages and border outposts (BoP) with mortar shells and opened fire from automatic weapons along the IB in the sector.
During the late night attack, which started around 11 pm and continued till Saturday morning, Pakistan Rangers had used 60 and 81 mm shells in the Korotana Khurd and Budhipur Jattan villages in the RS Pura sector.
Seven Pakistan Rangers personnel and a terrorist were killed and three others seriously injured in a befitting retaliatory action by the BSF as the Pakistani troops had targeted six sectors in Jammu, Kathua, Samba, Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
