ISLAMABAD-
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Wednesday said that the Indian forces have, yet again, fired across the border in Nakial sector near Kotli in Azad Kashmir, injuring four children.
The statement added that Pakistani forces also returned fire late Tuesday after coming under attack in the Nakial sector.
On Wednesday early morning, Indian forces resumed unprovoked firing in the Kailer sector near Bagh and in the Nezapir Sector near Rawalakot.
According to a statement by an ISPR spokesman, Pakistani troops are befittingly responding to Indian firing.
Exchanges of fire are common along the tense and heavily guarded Line of Control in Kashmir, which is divided between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India.
Fighting has intensified since Oct. 5, when violence erupted in the region during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.
So far, the cross-border fire has killed 20 people on both sides. The violence is the most serious violation of a 2003 cease-fire agreement between the two nations.
The Foreign Office (FO) of Pakistan has called upon the comity of nations to play its role to stop Indian aggression, and expressed resolve that national integrity and sovereignty will not be compromised under any circumstances.
The FO and military officials say India violated the LOC for 50 times within two weeks, adding the Indian aggression left at least 12 citizens dead.
UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) on Tuesday visited the Working Boundary near Sialkot and reviewed losses of life and property caused by Indian firing in Charwah, Pokhliyan and Chaprar sectors.
The observer group also talked to hundreds of local residents who informed the delegation about severity of Indian firing on residential areas.
Indian army has been doing this for long as they did such kind of acts before and this is normal for them. I have been searching on such kind of information as I am also concerned with Cadet College and this was my assignment.
Indian forces have been continually firing at the borders of Pakistan that is against the deal of seas fire between both countries. The security of the citizens is the utmost responsibility of government of Pakistan therefore they are fully aware of the border situation efficiently.
