Indian forces violate ceasefire along LoC

Pakistani forces befittingly respond to Indian aggression, says ISPR

Indian forces resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) on Thursday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

According to the military’s media wing, the Indian troops continuously violated the ceasefire as they fired across Jandrot, Nikyal, Baroh and Khanjar areas.

"During the last 24 hours, Indian aggression continued unabated as the violation was reported five times," the ISPR said.



According to Pakistan Army, Indian forces committed at least 178 ceasefire violations along the LoC and Working Boundary in 2016, killing 19 civilians and injuring 80 others.

The violation came a day after Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa discussed the situation across the LoC.
