Indian troops martyr two more youth in Pulwama

Unprovoked firing in the occupied territory continues after Feb 14 attack

Indian troops in their ongoing act of state terrorism martyred at least two Kashmiri youth in Pulwama district on Tuesday, Radio Pakistan reported.

The incident occurred during a cordon and search operation at Mir Mohalla in Tral area of the district. The troops also used explosives and razed a house.



On February 14, a suicide car bomber rammed a bus carrying troopers belonging to Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the deadliest attack on Indian occupying forces.

The suicide bombing outside Srinagar reportedly claimed by the militant Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) group, saw explosives packed inside a van rip through buses in a convoy of 78 vehicles, carrying some 2,500 members of the paramilitary force.



Islamabad has repeatedly urged New Delhi to respect the 2003 ceasefire arrangement, investigate the incidents of ceasefire violations, instruct Indian forces to respect the agreement in letter and spirit and maintain peace along the Line of Control (LoC). However, the violation of the truce has been continuing.

Earlier in 2018, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights issued a report revealing “impunity for human rights violations and lack of access to justice” to be among human rights challenges in the occupied valley.
