Dhanoa (Indo-Pak border), September 11
As many as three rockets were fired into the Indian territory from across the border, which landed and exploded in fields of Modhe and Khacha villages on the Indo-Pak border at around 10 pm tonight. However, no casualty was reported in the incident.
Though it could not be confirmed officially, India was also said to have retaliated. According to available information, BSF jawans also opened fire towards the other side from Pull Kanjri side. It is for the first time that India has resorted to retaliation in such a quick manner at the Punjab frontier.
It was a harrowing experience for residents of Modhe and Kachha Dhanoa who had just winded up their celebrations following deployment of about 80 woman constables on the Indo-Pak border. They had to wake-up in the dead of the night due to scary explosions taking place near their homes and hearths.
The number of rockets fired into the Indian territory could even be more than three as the top BSF officials are carrying out the search work in this regard. Dark night also made the job of the BSF officials tough. BSF IG Himmat Singh was not available for comment.
