A Pakistan Army soldier, Sepoy Naimat Wali, was martyred and two civilians were injured as the Indian army resorted to ceasefire violations along the restive Line of Control (LoC), the Pakistani Army’s media wing said on Thursday.
According to a press release issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian troops resorted to ceasefire violations in Baroh and Chirikot sector along the LoC, injuring two women in Serian village.
In response, Army troops targetted Indian army posts which were “substantially damaged”. ISPR added that there were reports of casualties of Indian troops.
Two civilians had been injured in Pakistan administered Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in a previous ceasefire violation by Indian troops from across the LoC on Wednesday.
A day earlier, the Foreign Office (FO) had summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia to record a strong protest against the “unprovoked ceasefire violations” by Indian forces along the LoC on Oct 6 and 7.
A Pakistan Army soldier was martyred after Indian troops resorted to “unprovoked firing” in the Hajipir sector of AJK, ISPR said on Sept 14.
The LoC violations come as tensions remain high between India and Pakistan over the former’s move to revoke occupied Kashmir’s special autonomy on August 5.
