Two civilians martyred, another wounded in cross-border shooting by India's Border Security Force near Kasur

Security sources said the two men were unarmed and did not try to cross the fence, calling the shooting a violation of border rules.

  • On Friday, October 2, 2026, Indian Border Security Force personnel opened fire near the Pakistan-India international border in Kasur, killing two unarmed civilians and injuring a third without warning.
  • This incident occurred just a day after the Pakistani military exposed what Inter-Services Public Relations Director-General Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry described as an Indian 'false flag' operation, presenting Havildar Muhammad Asif alive to disprove Indian claims.
  • Security sources identified the deceased as Azmat Rasool and Mohsin Jutt, both residents of Ladhar, stating the firing violated established border agreements and standard operating procedures as all three men were unarmed and did not cross the fence.
  • Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry warned that Pakistan remains ready to respond to any Indian military action, stating Pakistan would "inflict a cost that will be very severe, and the retribution will be really harsh."
  • Indian media reportedly described the casualties as infiltrators, while security sources rejected these claims as propaganda, reflecting the conflicting narratives fueling bilateral tensions.
