The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Pakistan armed forces on Thursday claimed through a statement that one person was killed and three others injured in Sialkot's Chaprar sector by unprovoked firing by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF).
It said that the dead man has been identified as 45-year-old Ghulam Mustafa, a resident of Malana.
The ISPR statement further said that firing and shelling, which commenced Wednesday morning is ongoing between the two sides in the border area.
Both sides have reportedly accused one another of repeatedly violating the cease-fire.
Further updates are awaited.
