RAWALPINDI: Five innocent people, including four women, were martyred in unprovoked firing by Indian troops along Line of Control (LoC) early Monday morning, according to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Four others including three girls were injured due to the firing, which occurred in Rawalakot sector, Satwal, Manwal, Tatrinote areas along the LoC.
Pakistan Army befittingly responded and killed four Indian troops and destroyed their two check posts, said Pakistan Army's media cell.
On Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner JP Singh twice in two days over Indian troops’ continuous violation of the Line of Control (LoC) ceasefire agreement.
The FO also recorded a protest over the martyrdom of three civilians in cross-LoC firing by Indian forces.
On Saturday, JP Singh was summoned after Indian troops matyred two civilians, including a girl, in unprovoked firing at LoC in Chirikot and Satwal sectors.
On July 9, DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor shared on social media that "Pakistan Army stands by innocent [civilian] population against unprovoked Indian [ceasefire violations and] would [continue] to respond befittingly to this naked aggression."
The latest incident of cross-border firing comes the day after thousands of Kashmiris observed Burhan Wani’s first death anniversary.
