In the early hours of September 11, 2024, the fragile peace along the India-Pakistan border was shattered when Pakistan Rangers opened unprovoked fire on Border Security Force (BSF) posts in the Akhnoor sector. The assault, which erupted around 2:30 AM, saw BSF troops swiftly retaliating to defend their positions.
During the intense exchange of fire, one BSF jawan sustained injuries. Senior BSF officials immediately rushed to the scene to assess the situation and bolster security measures. The incident has triggered a heightened state of alert across the region, with additional forces being deployed to prevent any further escalation.
In an official statement, the BSF PRO condemned the attack, stating, “On September 11, 2024, at about 2:35 AM, an incident of unprovoked firing occurred in the Akhnoor area from across the border, which was befittingly responded to by the BSF. One BSF personnel sustained injuries in Pakistan firing; troops are on high alert.”
The incident underscores the persistent volatility along the border, raising fresh concerns about security and the potential for renewed hostilities. As the situation remains tense, the BSF and other security agencies are maintaining strict vigilance to ensure the safety of the area.
