RAWALPINDI: Indian Border Security forces resorted to unprovoked firing and shelling at the Line of Control and working boundary twice on Friday, the ISPR confirmed.

This morning Indian Border Security Force resorted to unprovoked firing and shelling on working boundary in Shakargarh sector, north of Chak Amroo village, ISPR added.

Pakistan Rangers Punjab befittingly responded to Indian firing. Exchange of fire continued from 9 am to 9:30 am, ISPR said.

No loss of life or property was reported.

Later during the the day they resorted to unprovoked firing at the LoC in Keral sector. Pakistani troops befittingly responded to Indian unprovoked fire, ISPR said.

Earlier this week at least one civilian was martyred and five others wounded as a result of continuing unprovoked firing and shelling by Indian forces across the LoC. India has violated the LoC more than 90 times this year, according to Pakistan’s foreign office spokesman Nafees Zakaria.

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours have escalated following the Uri attack in Indian occupied Kashmir. On September 29, India claimed to have carried out ‘surgical strikes’ across the LoC in which two Pakistani soldiers were martyred. Pakistan dismissed the claims of the surgical strikes. India has so far failed to provide any proof of any such strikes.

Pakistani troops befittingly responded to indian unprovoked fire at LoC in Kerala sector today.
