India violates LoC ceasefire yet again, injures six Pakistani civilians
3 HOURS AGO
RAWALPINDI: Six Pakistani civilians, including four women, were injured after Indian Army opened unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) on Thursday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
According to the ISPR, the Indian forces fired heavy mortars, artillery and automatic weapons in Nezapir and Rakhchikri sectors, deliberately targeting the civilian population.
“Six innocent civilians, including three young girls and a woman, were seriously injured in Kirni Degwar Nar and Mandhar villages due to the Indian attack,” the ISPR said. The injured have been evacuated to a nearby health facility for treatment, it added.
On May 2, a woman sustained injuries after the Indian troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation at the Haji Pir and Sankh sectors along the Line of Control (LoC), ISPR said.
During a visit to the LoC on April 30, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa had warned that the Indian Army will always get a “befitting response” to ceasefire violations.
“Blatant atrocities by Indian occupation forces on innocent Kashmiris and unethical targeting of civil population in (Azad Jammu and Kashmir) is unacceptable,” the ISPR quoted Gen Bajwa as saying.
He said that such provocations by Indian forces are “a threat to regional peace and stability” and that the Indian Army “shall always get a befitting response” to ceasefire violations. “Pakistan Army shall protect innocent civilians along LoC and defend honour, dignity and territorial integrity of motherland at all costs,” said the army chief.
Tensions have been high between the two nuclear-armed states over the past couple of years. India and Pakistan came close to war in February last year after the Pulwama suicide attack that left more than 40 Indian soldiers dead.
India blamed Pakistan for aiding militants who carried out the attack. Islamabad denied the accusations. However, on February 26, 2019, Indian jets bombed Balakot. The next day, PAF jets shot down two Indian planes and captured an Indian pilot, Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.
On August 5, 2019, India illegally annexed occupied Kashmir by revoking Article 370 of its Constitution, which guaranteed special autonomy for the disputed region.
Islamabad responded sharply to the development, cutting off diplomatic ties with New Delhi and suspending trade with India. PM Imran Khan has referred to his Indian counterpart’s policies as ‘fascist’ and likened India under his rule to Nazi Germany.
With the civil and military leaders of both countries trading barbs over the past couple of years, unprovoked shelling across the LoC has increased.
