Srinagar, Aug 07 (IBNS): An Indian Army personnel was injured critically on Monday evening after he was hit in the head by Pakistan sniper fire near the Line of Control (LoC) in Uri area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.

According to sources, on Monday evening both armies exchanged fire along the LoC in Uri in the northern area of Kashmir.

In the incident, an Indian soldier identified as Narendra Singh Bisht received a sniper injury in his head and has been airlifted to Army's 92 base hospital Badamibagh, Srinagar for treatment where his condition is critical.

 Earlier, five militants were killed as a major infiltration bid was foiled by Indian army in Machil sector of north Kashmir's Kupwara on Monday.

Firing between the two forces of India and Pakistan, who have fought three wars since their independence in 1947, is fairly common in the recent years.
