Woman critically injured in Indian 'unprovoked' firing along LoC

ISPR says Pakistani troops effectively responded to the firing

A woman was critically injured in 'unprovoked' firing by Indian troops along the Line of Control in Baroh area of Bhimber sector late Wednesday night.

A statement released by the Inter Services Public Relations said the attack targeted the civilian population. Pakistan Army responded effectively.



The two nuclear-armed rivals declared a ceasefire in 2003, to maintain peace and tranquility along the LoC and Working Boundary.

In January, Indian forces violated the ceasefire as they fired across Jandrot, Nikyal, Baroh and Khanjar areas. Indian aggression continued unabated as the violation was reported five times.

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