Pakistan Protests After BSF Kills Two Men Along Punjab Border
Pakistan summoned the Indian Chargé d'Affaires to protest the killing of two men by India's Border Security Force (BSF) along the Punjab border. Indian officials said the men were suspected Pakistani intruders who ignored warnings to retreat, prompting BSF to open fire. Pakistani authorities disputed this, describing the men as unarmed civilians who inadvertently crossed the border. The incident occurred in Tarn Taran district near the 553-km India-Pakistan border, with investigations ongoing and senior BSF officers visiting the site.
