Indian army troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations in the Barwa sector of Kashmir along the Line of Control (LoC) on Friday, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) in a statement.
According to ISPR, two people including an eight-year-old boy were injured as Indian troops targeted the civilian population in Barwa sector along LoC.
“Pakistan Army troops responded effectively to Indian firing,” the military’s media wing said.
The latest ceasefire breach followed on the heels of another such incident on September 23 when two soldiers of Pakistan Army had been martyrdom as Indian forces resorted to unprovoked firing in Deva Sector along Line of Control (LoC).
According to the ISPR, Sepoy Noorullah and Sepoy Waseem Ali have sacrificed their lives for the protection of the motherland. The Pakistan Army befittingly responded to Indian aggression and caused major loss to the Indian side.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Office summoned a senior Indian diplomat to register Pakistan’s strong protest over Thursday’s ceasefire violations by Indian occupation forces along the Line of Control (LoC) that resulted in serious injuries to two innocent civilians.
Spokesperson Zahid Hafiz Chaudhry in a statement said that 35-year-old Shakeel Ayub and 8-year-old Luqman Shakeel, residents of Baroh Village, had sustained serious injuries due to indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by the Indian occupation forces in Baroh Sector of the LoC.
He said the Indian forces along the LoC and the Working Boundary (WB) have been continuously targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons.
