Retaliatory fire by Pakistan Army kills six Indian soldiers

At least four civilians were killed in Indian firing along the Line of Control (LoC) on Monday.

According to the ISPR, four civilians embraced martyrdom, and 10 others were injured in different sectors along the de facto border.

“There are reports of heavy casualties of Indian soldiers due to effective retaliatory fire by Pakistani troops,” the military’s media wing said. “Six Indian soldiers have been confirmed killed till now.”



Tensions between Pakistan and India have been running high since July when India unleashed a brutal crackdown on Kashmiris protesting against the extrajudicial killing of a prominent freedom fighter, Burhan Wani.

Indian high commissioner summoned

Meanwhile, the Indian Deputy High Commissioner JP Singh was summoned to the Foreign Office in protest of the violation. “The Deputy High Commissioner was told that the deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas was highly deplorable,” the Foreign Office said.
