A Pakistani intruder was arrested in an injured condition after BSF troops opened fire on observing movement of a group of people attempting to sneak into this side along the International Border in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday (August 11, 2025), officials said.

The intruders were noticed by the alert Border Security Force (BSF) troops between Chandwan and Kothey border outposts in the Hiranagar sector around 4 p.m. and were told to stop, the officials said.

They said the intruders paid no heed to the repeated warnings, prompting the BSF personnel manning the forward posts to open fire, resulting in injuries to one of the intruders.
