RAWALPINDI: A citizen was martyred while another sustained injuries after the Indian troops resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation at the Chirikot sector along the Line of Control (LoC) on Saturday, ISPR reported.

According to a press release issued by the the inter-services public relations (ISPR) wing of the armed forces, the Indian troops targeted civilian population with heavy artillery and mortar shells.

In result of the blatant violation, an innocent citizen, namely, Mir Muhammad, embraced martyrdom while a woman was reportedly injured and was shifted to the nearest medical facility.

The Pakistan Army responded in-kind, effectively targeting Indian check posts across the border resulting in a ceasefire from the Indian side.

Two women among four civilians were injured in Azad Jammu and Kashmir in a fresh ceasefire violation by Indian troops from across the restive Line of Control (LoC) on February 4, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

According to the military’s media wing, Indian troops resorted to the unprovoked fire of heavy weapons including mortars along the LoC in Lepa valley deliberately targeting the civilian population.

Four civilians including two women and a child were injured by the Indian firing. Rescue officials shifted the injured to the hospital for necessary medical care.
