Pak violates ceasefire again

According to Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR), unprovoked firing by Indian troops on the Line of Control (LOC) has continued.

The latest exchange of fire took place days after senior military officials from Pakistan and India agreed to restore ceasefire along the working boundary.

The Indian Border Security Force once again violated the ceasefire and opened unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC), leaving a Pakistani civilian seriously injured, ARY News reported.

On Tuesday also, Pakistani troops had fired from automatic weapons on forward posts along the LoC in Balakote sector from 6.20pm to 9pm, the spokesman said.

They added that the Pakistan Army gave a befitting reply to the Indian shelling.

On Tuesday, a Pakistan Army soldier was killed as India’s BSF resorted to unprovoked firing along the Loc in Battal Sector. We have responded appropriately and effectively.

Pakistan had fired 82 mm mortar bombs.

Police said the three slain youth belonged to Lashkar-e-Islam, a breakaway group of the Hizbul Mujahideen and the killing was a result of rivalry between the two terrorist groups active in the valley.

The Hizbul chief also claimed the youth had been killed by the security forces in a stage managed gunbattle.
