RAWALPINDI – Indian armed forces have again violated ceasefire at the Line of Control (LoC) on Wednesday morning as its troops resorted to unprovoked firing in the Kailer sector near Bagh and in the Nezapir sector near Rawalakot, the army said.
"Pakistani troops are befittingly responding to Indian firing which started early morning today,” said a statement issued here by the Inter-Services Public Relations. India’s Border Security Force resorted to unprovoked firing on Nezapir sector in Rawalakot and Kailar sector in Bagh at 2am on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, four children were injured in Indian shelling in Nakial sector in district Kotli. The injured children from the village of Kanthi Gala have been shifted to a military hospital. A day before the recent incident, military officials from Pakistan and India spoke over a hotline on the aggravating situation along the LoC and the working boundary as military observers from the United Nations visited affected areas inside Pakistan.
At least 20 people have lost their lives on both sides of the Line of Control and the working boundary in the continuing skirmishes. In December last year, a meeting of the senior officials of the two armies had helped end clashes between Pakistan and India. However, the calm proved short-lived and the two countries were back to trading fire along the de facto border in six months.
