KOTLI:
The Indian army on Saturday allegedly violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (Loc) in Nakial Sector, Azad Kashmir, by firing across the border and killing one Pakistani soldier besides injuring a woman, Express News reported.
The incident follows two consecutive days of firings across the LoC that have resulted in the deaths of at least four army personnel.
On Friday, Pakistan had summoned the Indian High Commissioner to lodge a strong protest against the killing of two Pakistani soldiers (Captain Sarfraz and Sepoy Gul Wahab) and the injury of four others (including civilians) from unprovoked firing along the LoC from the Indian side of the border.
Cross border incidents of firing across the sensitive LoC have heightened tensions between the two nuclear armed neigbhours and have prompted world concern.
