Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in Karela sector on Wednesday, killing one civilian and leaving five others injured.

According to the ISPR, Pakistani soldiers befittingly responded to the border violation.

The Foreign Office identified the deceased as 28-year-old Abdur Rehman.



The injured included a three-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy, who were shifted to a hospital. In village Palani, tehsil Nakial, two women were wounded.




Indian troops violate LoC ceasefire again





According to the Foreign Office spokesperson, India has violated ceasefire more than 90 times in 2016 so far.

Tensions along the LoC have been high ever since India accused Pakistan of being involved in an attack on an army base in Uri on September 18, in which 19 Indian soldiers were killed. Islamabad has denied the charge, which Delhi leveled without any substantial investigation or evidence.
