RAWALPINDI: Two Pakistanis embraced martyrdom while one was injured after they came under Indian army’s unprovoked firing in Sattwal sector from the other side of the Line of Control (LoC).
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said: “Indian Army, in a display of its usual inhumane approach towards innocent Kashmiris, opened indiscriminate fire onto a group of shepherds in the Sattwal Sector.”
Meanwhile, the Indian Charge d’ Affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to register Pakistan’s strong protest over the ceasefire violation committed by the Indian forces in Satwal Sector of the Line of Control (LoC).
The incident, which took place on 24 June 2023, resulted in killing of two civilians and injury to another one.
Condemning the deplorable targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian forces, it was underscored that such senseless acts are in clear violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, reaffirmed in February 2021. It was further underscored that targeting of civilians is contrary to human dignity and international human rights and humanitarian laws.
The Indian side was urged to respect the Ceasefire Understanding, investigate the incident, and maintain peace along the Line of Control.
