This is second time in last 24 hours that India violated ceasefire at LoC.

 

LAHORE (Dunya News) - A Pakistani woman was killed and four people were injured when Indian troops resorted to unprovoked small arms and artillery firing at Line of Control in Battal and Neza Pir sectors on Wednesday morning.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, a Pakistani woman was injured when Indian troops fired across the disputed border in the Himalayan region of Kashmir.

 

The incident took place in the Karela area, near Kotli town, along the Line of Control (LoC) separating the Indian and Pakistani-controlled sectors.

 

India and Pakistan agreed a ceasefire along the line of control, which divides the disputed region, in November 2003.

 

But both sides have blamed each other for occasional cross border fire as a result of which several soldiers and civilians have been killed or wounded on both sides.
