An oil reserve of the Indian border guards caught fire in Jammu and Kashmir’s border district Poonch after it came under heavy shelling from Pakistan rangers on Monday evening. Sources told Kashmir Dispatch that a forward post of Border Security Forces came under heavy shelling from Pakistan in Poonch’s Saujiyan sector.
One of the mortars hit the oil reserve of the BSF leading to a massive blaze. Fire tenders were rushed to the blaze site to douse the flames. The border flare up between India and Pakistan has escalated since New Delhi claimed that it’s troops claimed surgical strikes in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Islamabad says there was no surgical strike but ceasefire violation in which two of its troops were killed.
