Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement that it summoned an Indian diplomat on Saturday to protest alleged cease-fire violations that wounded a young woman.
It said Indian forces “have continuously been targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons.” It accused India of 940 cease fire violations this year.
According to Indian officials, Pakistan had violated the cease-fire over 800 times this year through the first week of March.
India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars since 1947 over their competing claims to Kashmir.
There has been almost daily fighting over last several months along the rugged and mountainous Line of Control, marked by coils of razor wire, watch towers and bunkers that snake across foothills populated by ancient villages, tangled bushes and forests. On Wednesday, a Pakistani soldier and three civilians on both sides of Kashmir were killed in border fighting.
