RAWALPINDI: A civilian was martyred on Monday in unprovoked Indian Army shelling across the Line of Control (LoC) in Khanjar Sector, the Inter-Services Press Relations (ISPR) said.

Pakistan Army personnel mounted a befitting response by returning fire. Indian troops routinely attack civilians across the LoC in flagrant violation of a 2003 ceasefire.

Indian forces open fire along Working Boundary

On September 5, the Indian Deputy High Commissioner JP Singh was summoned by Foreign Office (FO) Spokesperson Mohammad Faisal to protest unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian Army along the LoC.

“Indian forces have carried out over 2,000 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and Working Boundary." The FO added 32 civilians had been martyred and another 122 injured in the incidents.
