Six civilians injured in unprovoked India firing: ISPR

Six civilians, including three girls and a woman, were wounded as Indian troops resorted to unprovoked fire along the line of control (LoC), the Inter-Services Public Relations said Thursday.

“Cease-Fire violation of heavy mortars, artillery and automatics in Nezapir & Rakhchikri Sectors along LOC deliberately targeting civilian population,” stated the ISPR.

The firing took place in Kirni Degwar Nar and Mandhar villages that killed “6 innocent civilians including three girls and one woman sustained serious injuries”.

The ISPR added that “the injured have been evacuated to nearby health facilities for necessary medical care.”

Pakistan has repeatedly urged India to allow the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to play its mandated role as per the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) resolutions.

Indian forces have continuously been targeting civilian populations in areas along the LoC and Working Boundary with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars, and automatic weapons.

India has committed 957 ceasefire violations so far this year.
