ISLAMABAD: Three people, including two women, were injured when Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing, targeting civilian population from across the Line of Control (LoC) on Sunday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian troops resorted to firing in Khuiratta, Kotli and Battal and Rawalakot sectors of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, targeting civil population. “3 citizens including 2 women got injured due to Indian firing. Pakistan army troops effectively responded to Indian posts from where firing was initiated,” the military’s media wing said in a statement.
This is the latest violation in a series of unabated and unprovoked breach of the ceasefire along the heavily militarized LoC. There has been a spike in ceasefire violations in the month of January, which had resulted in several casualties and injuries to many more people.
