The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday dismissed India’s claim of killing Pakistani soldiers along the Working Boundary.
“The claim is part of India’s propaganda campaign aiming to hide its losses at the Working Boundary and to divert the world’s attention from ongoing Kashmir issue,” the statement added.
According to Indian media reports, India’s Border Security Force (BSF) claimed to have killed 15 Pakistani soldiers during cross-border fire along the Working Boundary on Friday. Two of Pakistan’s Frontier Force soldiers and 13 Rangers were killed, an initial statement by BSF said.
“There are ceasefire violations repeatedly, we are giving a befitting reply. As far as our people have seen, what we have assessed is at least 15 rangers have been killed,” senior BSF officer Arun Kumar said, according to NDTV.
Earlier this week, a woman was killed, and seven other people injured as Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing at the Shakargarh sector of the Working Boundary.
According to the ISPR, Pakistan Army befittingly responded to ceasefire violation. “Flames were seen at the Indian check posts after Pakistani forces gave an effective response to silence the enemy’s guns,” the military’s media wing said. The exchange of fire took place at around 8pm at Jandroot and Nakyal sectors.
The violation came a day after five Indian troops cross-border fire ‘left five Indian soldiers dead’ and destroyed four military posts.
