RAWALPINDI: Three people, including two women, were injured when Indian troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations, targeting civilian population from across the Line of Control (LoC) on Sunday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violations in Khuiratta, Kotli and Battal, 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.
This is the latest in a series of unabated and unprovoked breach of the ceasefire along the heavily militarized LoC, which divides the disputed Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir between Pakistan and India.
There has been a spike in ceasefire violations in the month of January, which had resulted in many casualties and injuries to many more people.
Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif last week informed the Senate that Indian troops have committed over 170 ceasefire violations along the LoC and Working Boundary (WB) in January 2018.
At least 11 people have been killed while 51 others injured in January alone.
