Indian forces open fire along Working Boundary

Pakistan Rangers Punjab effectively responded to Indian forces and targetted Indian security posts in response

Indian troops engaged in an unprovoked ceasefire violation along the Working Boundary on Monday and targetted the civilian population with mortars and heavy weapons, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The latest incident occurred in the Harpal and Charwah sectors of the Working Boundary.

According to the military's media wing, Pakistan Rangers Punjab effectively responded to Indian firing of the Indian forces and targetted Indian security posts in response.



Earlier, Pakistan summoned the Indian high commissioner to lodge a strong protest over ceasefire violations by Indian forces along the Working Boundary near Sialkot, killing four members of the same family.

 



The Indian envoy was told that the Indian forces along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary were continuously targeting civilian populated areas with heavy weapons.

“In 2018, the Indian forces have carried out more than 1,050 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary, resulting in the Shahadat of 28 innocent civilians, while injuring 117 others,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
