Pakistani forces fired four rockets in villages around the Attari border, drawing retaliation from the Border Security Force.

BSF official said while two rockets landed in an agricultural field in the border villages around Attari border on Friday night, the rest two failed to explode.

No casualty has been reported.

According to sources, BSF troops present during night duty opened retaliatory fire.

Official said that due to dense fog, BSF personnel were finding it difficult to locate the exact location where the two rockets fell and exploded in agriculture fields.

He said two rockets, which did not blast after falling on Indian Territory, were traced at Kahangarh post of BSF.

Immediately after the incident, BSF held a flag meeting with Pakistani counterparts who denied any firing from their side.
