Pakistan on Monday accused Indian border guards of resorting to “unprovoked” firing along Kashmir border, which killed a woman, and injured a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Indian Army troops initiated unprovoked CFVs (ceasefire violations) along the LOC (Line of Control) deliberately targeting civilian population this morning,” said a statement from ISPR, Pakistan Army.<\/span><\/p>\n

“A woman embraced shahadat (martyrdom) while an 8 years old girl sustained injuries,” the statement added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Kashmiri groups in Jammu and Kashmir have been fighting against Indian rule for independence, or for unification with neighboring Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to several human rights organizations, thousands of people have reportedly been killed in the conflict in the region since 1989.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
