One person was killed in Azad Kashmir as Indian troops resorted to unprovoked firing from across the Line of Control on Monday.
According to details, an elderly man identified as Khan Muhammad was killed in Dabsi village of Nakyal sector. He was hit by an Indian bullet in the neck, killing him instantly. The deceased belonged to Fandyot village of Goi sector.
No other casualties were reported in the area.
The LoC, which splits the disputed Himalayan region between the nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, has been tense for quite some time, particularly after a suicide attack on an Indian army convoy in Pulwama district in February.
The LoC had been relatively calm for the past one week, as the last casualty had occurred on April 9 when a 14-year old boy was injured in Jogal Pal village of Khuiratta sector in Kotli district.
