SRINAGAR: At least three Indian soldiers have sustained injuries in sniper fire from across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir over the past seven days, heightening tensions along the border.
On February 10, a soldier identified as Puran Singh was injured in a sniper attack in the Nowshera sector of Rajouri district. Four days later, on February 14, another soldier was wounded after being hit by sniper fire in the Akhnoor sector of Jammu.
The latest incident occurred on February 16 in the Poonch sector, where a soldier was injured in sniper fire, prompting a brief exchange of gunfire between Indian and Pakistani troops along the LoC.
Tensions along the LoC have escalated sporadically despite a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.
