Indian troops on Sunday again violated ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) and opened unprovoked firing in Bhimber sector.

According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, the Indian forces opened unprovoked firing in Khanjar area near Bhimber in the afternoon.

“Indians fired with RPG-7 and automatic grenade launcher,” the ISPR said in a statement, adding that Pakistani troops effectively responded to Indian firing.

Earlier on December 16, a man was killed and eight schoolchildren injured when Indian troops targeted a school van in Nakyal sector of Kotli district.

Prior to that, a minibus was shelled in Neelum valley on November 23, due to which nine passengers lost their lives.

Tensions between Pakistan and India have been running high following an alleged ‘surgical strike’, unrest in Kashmir and the Uri army base attack in September.

Since then there have been repeated outbreaks of cross-border firing in Kashmir, with both sides reporting deaths and injuries including of civilians.

  1. Your ISPR would never tell that Pakistani Army was firing to give cover to terrorists to facilitate their entry into indian side.

  2. Pakistan should call itself Islamic Military People of Pakistan instead of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Because everything in Pakistan starts from Army and ends at Army.
