India violates Geneva Convention by using cluster bombs on civilians: ISPR

Earlier, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor released a statement, claiming that Indian Army had used cluster ammunition to target the civilian population across the Line of Control (LoC) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in violation of the Geneva Convention and international law. The Indian military, on the intervening night of July 30 and 31, targeted innocent citizens including women and children in Neelum Valley through artillery using cluster ammunition – resulting in the martyrdom of two civilians, including a boy, as per the statement.

Indian army deliberately used cluster bombs to target civilian population, resulting in the injuries of eleven other people, who sustained critical bullet wounds, according to military’s media wing.

Indian allegations of cross LOC action by Pakistan mere propaganda: ISPR

Major General Asif Ghafoor said Indian allegations of cross LOC action by Pakistan and possession of bodies are mere propaganda. He said such blatant lies and staged dramas are Indian disinformation manoeuvre to divert world attention from increased atrocities by Indian Occupation Forces inside occupied territory.

DG’s response came after Indian media claimed that Indian Army has foiled an infiltration attempt by a Pakistani BAT (Border Action Team) squad in Keran Sector where 5-7 Pakistani army regulars were eliminated and their bodies are lying on the LoC.
