Three people were killed in Sialkot, while one was killed in Rawalakot in separate instances of cross-border firing. ─ Online/File
SIALKOT/ISLAMABAD: Three people were killed and five others injured in Sialkot's Chaprar sector, whereas another person was killed in firing across the Line of Control (LoC) in Rawalakot's Neza Pir sector in separate instances of unprovoked firing by Indian Border Security Forces on Thursday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
Those killed in Sialkot have been identified as Ghulam Mustafa, Rahat and Muhammad Boota. Zarina Bibi, an 18-year-old, was killed in Rawalakot.
Episodic attacks of firing and shelling which commenced in Sialkot on Wednesday morning at 8:30am are said to be ongoing and Pakistani troops are responding with retaliatory firing, Punjab Rangers said.
Rangers sources said the attacks along the Sialkot Working Boundary have mostly harmed civilians, adding that livestock belonging to residents of the area has been killed, while houses have been partially damaged.
Yesterday's attacks targeted Sialkot's Bajwat sector. No loss of life or casualties were reported at the time.
AP on Wednesday quoted D. Parekh of India's BSF as saying that Pakistani troops fired heavy mortar shells, adding that one woman was killed and three civilians injured when one of the shells exploded near a border village.
Parekh had alleged that Pakistani soldiers first fired at a paramilitary soldier guarding a border post in the Pargwal area. As troops tried to evacuate the seriously injured soldier, they came under heavy fire and retaliated, he had said.
Instances of unprovoked firing across the Indo-Pak border have occurred intermittently over the years.
In March 2015, Indian border forces opened unprovoked fire on some villages in the Charwah sector along the Working Boundary. At the time, Pakistani officials had alleged that the Indian BSF personnel had violated the ceasefire accord and targeted civilian population.
A similar incident was also reported in January this year, when Indian BSF resorted to unprovoked intensified heavy mortar shelling on several Pakistani villages along the Working Boundary in Sialkot, killing four Pakistani civilians.
In December 2013, the two countries had pledged to uphold the 2003 ceasefire accord which was left in tatters by repeated violations that year. The truce breaches had put the nascent bilateral peace dialogue on hold.
The so called befitting reply by India always results in two things.
1 Deaths of Pakistani civilians
2 Exposes cowardice of Indian forces to deliberately target Pakistani civilians.

expected a cry from india as their costly drone is shot down ........................
Each side can claim that the other is evil... but this senseless activity should be stopped!For two days, we showed retraint, but yesterday you mistook our restraint for cowardice and started firing on Civilian areas..killed one civilian and injured three .
And hence here we are.
Some people will argue that there is no 'deliberate intent on the part of the Indian military to kill civilians'. However, what this defense ignores is that both the Indians and Pakistanis are well aware of the fact that certain parts along the LoC and IB are heavily populated.The so called befitting reply by India always results in two things.

And then decided to became a eunuch and attacked civilians to show our bravado. While the other side targeted our soldiers and not civilians.
BSF jawan dies as Pak violates ceasefire in Kupwara
Ceasefire violation: BSF jawan killed in firing by Pakistani troop | The Indian Express
Only to be shut up like before.
You think the IA are morons to waste ammo on an abandoned/unoccupied post?I see a random structure being hit - was it occupied? Abandoned?
Unique because not a single round landed on an Indian border post!! They landed in civilian areas killing several innocent civilians. Either their aim went awry or they preferred targeting civilians knowing that they can't retaliate!And if that was a functional bunker/post, what is so unique about Indian mortars that you think the Indian's didn't get a heavy dose of the same treatment?
Exactly what you guys have been doing. Here....The deliberate killing of non-combatants is a war crime - taking pride in what amounts to war crimes by the BSF is reflective of a diseased mind.

Any escalation in firepower, especially resorting to mortars, carries a high risk of civilian casualties. Therefore the statements by the Indian BJP and Modi of 'escalating the quantity and level of small arms and artillery exchanges against Pakistan' is a deliberate statement of intent of killing Pakistani civilians and therefore a statement of intent to commit war crimes.
