RAWALPINDI: A Pakistan Army soldier was martyred while four civilians, two girls among them, got injured as India fired rockets and mortar shells from across the restive Line of Control (LoC) on Saturday.
“Indian army fired rockets & mortars in Battal, Satwal Khanjar, Nikyal and Jandrot sectors along LoC, targeting civilians and military posts,” said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
As a result, Havaldar Manzoor Abbasi embraced martyrdom while four civilians, including two girls, got injured.
The military’s media wing said the Pakistani army in retaliatory fire killed two India soldiers.
Earlier, on July 3, at least five soldiers of the Pakistan Army were martyred and one was injured in an explosion near the LoC.
“The incident is evident of state sponsored terrorism by India violating bilateral ceasefire agreement and the international rules,” ISPR said in a statement.
