Islamabad, Oct 21: Pakistan Army today claimed that there was no loss of life on its side in firing at the border, contradicting the BSF's assertion that it had killed 7 Pakistan Rangers personnel and a terrorist while retaliating to a ceasefire violation on the International Border.

"Indians resorted to unprovoked fire/shelling on working boundary in Shakargarh sector today. Pak Rangers befittingly responded. No loss on Pak side," Director General Inter- Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Asim Bajwa tweeted.

"Indian claim of hitting or killing any Pakistani soldier/Ranger with firing at anytime of today at LOC/working boundary absolutely false," he said.

His remarks came after BSF said it had killed 7 personnel of Pakistan Rangers and a terrorist while retaliating to a ceasefire violation on the International Border in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir in which one BSF jawan was injured.
