SIALKOT: At least one person was killed and three others injured on Sunday during an exchange of fire across the working border between India and Pakistan border near Silakot's Charwah and Mirajkey sectors, DawnNews reported.
Pakistan Rangers claimed that Indian soldiers indiscriminately opened fire early Sunday morning in Sialkot's Mirajkey and Charwah sectors, killing one man and wounding two women and a child.
Rescue teams immediately reached the attack site and shifted the injured to a Combined Military Hospital Sialkot.
Locals also reported that the shelling and firing from across the border had also killed several livestock.
Attacks along the border are an ongoing issue between India and Pakistan.
Only recently on July 16, two Pakistani soldiers were wounded in an exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistani forces in Charwah sector near Sialkot.

This is a conspiracy to stop or try to hinder military action in Waziristan. Friends of our rulers are trying to help distract our military.

Pakfauji must either restrain any shelling, or shoot before being shot--avoid being killed!

If such things happen again and again there won't be Aman Ki Asha between two countries the only solution to solve this problem is great Military to Military(M2M) contacts which will lead to harmonious relationship between two Militaries and put an end to such incidents is future. Hope this problem gets solved quickly. Until there is peace between two militaries there can't be peace between two nations(Aman Ki Asha). God give peace to the soldiers killed in heaven and family on earth, Pakistan government has to provide good amount of money as compensation for people killed. I as Indian feel sorry for loss of lives whether be it of an Indian or Pakistani or Chinese of any nation. Long live India Pakistan Chinese American relationships, we belong to the same world our home.

Recently I have heard where one Indian soldier was killed across LOC here is the news

May be this is the retaliation from Indian side.But one thing is sure an eye for an eye will make whole world blind. This problem needs to be solved by two militaries and governments.

Falsified news, as according to TOI, its the Pakistan rangers have fired indiscriminately to push in militants.

@Lucky Star No long march for change of government. This government was given a 5 year mandate. Opposition should have patience and do its bit for 5 years. Then everyone will face the voters again.

This needs to be stopped. Why are we wasting life of civilians & soldiers on both side of border?

Does this intermittent firing across the border between India and Pakistan causing casualties in any way support the various leveled talks between the arch rivals? We should not promote business at the cost of precious lives.
