Residents of Jammu and Kashmir's R S Pura Sector are reportedly fleeing from their homes in the wake of the cease-fire arrangement being repeatedly violated by Pakistan.

The Pakistan Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in the R S Pura and Akhnoor Sectors on Saturday.

The Indian Army is retaliating and cross-border firing is still on as per latest reports.

Saturday was the third consecutive day of shelling of civilian areas and border outposts (BoPs) in India by the Pakistan Rangers.

On Friday, at least 11 civilians were injured across Jammu and Kashmir in the firing from across the border.
