Those killed in the Pakistani aggression include four armymen, a Border Security Force (BSF) jawan and six civilians. “Pakistan fired heavy artillery without any provocation, but the Army and the BSF fought with bravery, gave a befitting response to them and many defences (installations) of Pakistan were destroyed,” Inspector General of BSF, Kashmir Rajesh Mishra said. He said the slain BSF man deserves the highest tributes as he fought despite getting injured in the shelling. “Security forces, including the BSF, have been successful in foiling their designs and will continue to do that,” he said. The BSF officer also said human rights organisations should take note of the killings of civilians and the damage caused to civilian properties in the intense shelling by Pakistan.
