Pakistan Army on Thursday lodged a strong protest with the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) over unprovoked firing by Indian troops on Aug. 4 along the working boundary at Sialkot’s Pukhlian sector.
“UNMOGIP has been asked to conduct investigation of unprovoked Indian firing and shelling,” an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said. It said Indian forces deliberately targeted civilians with heavy weapons on Tuesday, which resulted in three dead and 22 injured in Bajwat and Pukhlian sectors of the Sialkot Working Boundary.
The army had launched a similar complaint with the UN body in July also, in relation to incidents of unprovoked firing by Indian forces at Sialkot’s Chaprar sector and in Rawalakot’s Neza Pir sector along the Line of Control (LoC).
