Indian occupation army has breached the ceasefire, killing one civilian and injuring six others on the Line of Control, Pakistani Army said.
In a written statement released on Wednesday, Pakistan's army said that a civilian was killed while six others were injured by Indian forces on the Line of Control (LoC), a military control line between the Indian and Pakistani controlled parts of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Indian Army Troops initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation along LOC targeting civil population in Hot Spring Sector. An 18 years old girl, resident of Fatehpur village embraced Shahadat while 6 innocent people including 2 women & 2 girls got injured in Fatehpur and Tahi villages," the statement said.
"Pakistan Army troops responded effectively and target those posts which initiated fire. Indian troops committed 1877 Ceasefire violations this year so far in which 15 innocent civilians including 6 women & 5 children were martyred while 144 people got injured including 46 women and 37 children," it added.
Pakistan and India reached a ceasefire agreement along the Line of Control in 2003. Nevertheless, two sides routinely exchange fire and accuse each other of ceasefire violations.
Since India annulled special status for the Indian-occupied Kashmir in August 2019, tension has increased between two countries. (ILKHA)
