Indian forces have once again violated the LoC ceasefire in Nakyal Sector.

(Web Desk) - Indian forces resorted to unprovoked firing on civilian population from across the Line of Control in Nakyal Sector of Kotli District on Tuesday morning.

Assistant Commissioner Nakyal Chaudhry Muhammad Ayub told state radio that one woman was injured in the firing in Datot village. The injured woman was identified as Shameem.

Fear and panic grip the area after the incident.

The latest incident came almost two weeks after the prime ministers of the two countries pledged to restore calm on their disputed border in Kashmir, at a meeting in New York.

A deadly flare-up along the LoC in January brought a halt to peace talks that had only just resumed following a three-year hiatus sparked by the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.

Pakistan and India each control part of Kashmir but claim it in full. The scenic Himalayan territory has been the trigger for two of the three wars between them.
