Two BSF personnel injured in attack by suspected cattle smugglers in Meghalaya
'The BSF personnel spotted movements of 30 to 40 cattle heads along with around 20 people on the Bangladeshi side of the border,' according to an FIR lodged with the Meghalaya Police.
'On being challenged, the miscreants, assisted by another group of 40 to 50 individuals from across the border in Bangladesh, attempted to cross into Indian territory and began pelting stones at the BSF personnel,' it said. 'In the attack, two BSF jawans sustained injuries,' it said.
'In self-defence, BSF troops fired several warning shots and blank rounds to disperse the attackers,' the border-guarding force said in a statement. 'Following the incident, the miscreants fled the area, and BSF personnel recovered 13 cattle heads,' it said. 'Further investigation is under way,' it added.

Brendan Taylor rejoins Zimbabwe Test team following ICC ban period
Brendan Taylor has returned to the Zimbabwe Test team after completing a three-and-a-half-year suspension imposed on him for breaching the ICC's Anti-Corruption and Anti-Doping codes. Taylor, 39, who was banned in January 2022 for failing to report a 2019 spot-fixing approach by an Indian businessman on time, has been added to the Zimbabwe squad for the second Test against New Zealand, scheduled to take place from August 7 to 11 at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. Taylor, who was at the time also handed a one month suspension for failing a dope test which was linked to his intake of cocaine during the episode, was banned after admitting receiving USD 15,000 in 2019. He was in solid form in red-ball cricket before the sanction, with scores of 92, 81 and 49 in his last three Test innings. Few days before the ICC sanction, Taylor had made a stunning disclosure that he was blackmailed after "foolishly" taking cocaine during his meeting with an Indian businessman. Reflecting on his own journey back into the Zimbabwe squad, Taylor was quoted as saying by ICC, "The last year and a half has certainly been dedicated to my return. "I've put in an immense amount of work from fitness to the technical side to diet and I'm feeling a lot leaner, fitter and mentally stronger. "I've thoroughly enjoyed this journey on my own, just rebuilding the blocks, and I feel in a wonderful space." The first Test between Zimbabwe and New Zealand is currently underway in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe squad: Zimbabwe squad: Craig Ervine (Captain), Brian Bennett, Tanaka Chivanga, Ben Curran, Trevor Gwandu, Roy Kaia, Tanunurwa Makoni, Clive Madande, Vincent Masekesa, Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Newman Nyamhuri, Sikandar Raza, Tafadzwa Tsiga, Nicholas Welch, Sean Williams, Brendan Taylor.
