A Pakistan Army soldier was martyred after Indian forces resorted to unprovoked fire in the Shahkot sector along the Line of Control (LOC) on Tuesday.
“Indian Army troops resorted to unprovoked fire in Shahkot sector along LOC with heavy weapons,” said the Inter-Services Public Relations.
“During the exchange of fire, one brave soldier Sepoy Wajid Ali, age 20 years, resident of District Dadu, valiantly responding to Indian ceasefire violation (CFV) embraced shahadat.”

The military’s media wing also added that the Pakistan Army responded effectively and targeted the post which committed the CFV and "inflicted heavy losses on enemy in terms of men and material".
CFVs have surged since August 5 last year when New Delhi revoked the special status of India-Occupied Kashmir (IOK), escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed states.
The Foreign Office has summoned Indian officials several times to condemn the unprovoked firing.
