Pak denies rocket fire near Wagah border
September 12th, 2009 - 12:10 pm ICT by ANILahore, Sep.12 (ANI): Pakistan has rejected India’s allegations of breaking the ceasefire between the two countries by denying reports of rockets being fired from its side towards India at the Wagah border.
The allegations from India and Pakistan’s denial came during the emergency meeting between the Pakistan Rangers and Border Security Forces (BSF), following reports of three rockets being fired from the other side of the border into Indian territory.
The Border Security Force (BSF) retaliated with machine gun fire following the rocket fire on Friday night.
Last night between 10 and 11 p.m., the BSF said that at least two rockets were fired into the Indian side of the Wagah border.
A third incident of shelling was reported from Ratankalan village two km. from Wagah border, the BSF confirmed.
According to reports, the three rockets, which were fired by Pakistan, fell in the border villages of Dhanoae Kachye and Modahe.
However, no causality was been reported.
Talking to ANI over the phone DIG BSF Jagir Singh confirmed that so far three rockets were fired from Pakistan side. (ANI)
