The army said the intruder was shot as he continued to move despite being warned several times.

"Border Security Force (BSF) personnel noticed some suspicious movement in the Border Outpost Tashpatan area along the IB. Despite being challenged by the BSF troops, the intruder did not stop after crossing over onto this side," officials told news agency PTI.

The identity of the intruder is being ascertained. A BSF spokesperson, Jammu frontier, said a strong protest will be lodged with Pakistan Rangers over the incident.

In another instance reported earlier this year on February 8, terrorists fired at a patrol from a forested area across the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri's Keri sector. This led to a retaliatory response from Indian soldiers.
