Two Pakistan Army soldiers were martyred in Indian ceasefire violations along the restive Line of Control (LoC) in Dewa Sector, the military’s media wing said on Thursday.
In a tweet, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor identified the martyred soldiers as Naib Subedar Kandero and Sepoy Ehsan.
In response to Indian ceasefire violations during the past 36 hours, the ISPR said, Pakistan Army troops damaged an Indian post in Haji Pir Sector and killed three Indian soldiers including a subedar. Additionally, ISPR said, a few soldiers were also injured.
On Sunday, Indian and Pakistani troops had exchanged fire in some areas along the LoC but no casualties were reported from anywhere.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi condemned the violation and said that the attacks were an “attempt by India to divert attention from strong response to the controversial citizenship bill”. He paid tribute to the martyred soldiers and urged the world to take notice of India’s “violent activities”.
