RAWALPINDI: Cross-border firing between Indian and Pakistani security forces near Sialkot on Tuesday morning left five injured, a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The ISPR said that “unprovoked shelling” across the Working Boundary in Sukhial village injured three children and two women.
The ISPR added that Pakistani troops responded to the shelling in a “befitting” manner, reportedly.
In July, Pakistani officials blamed Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) for killing four civilians in two separate incidents of cross-border firing in Sialkot’s Chaprar sector and Rawalakot’s Neza Pir sector.
India moreover accused Pakistan of killing three border guards and one civilian, according to media sources.
