Senior Indian diplomat summoned over fresh ceasefire violation

Author: Online

Foreign Office on Thursday summoned a senior Indian diplomat and registered Pakistan’s strong protest over the ceasefire violation by the Indian occupation forces along the Line of Control on Wednesday.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri, in a statement, said one innocent civilian was injured in indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by the Indian occupation forces in Sabzkot Sector of the LoC.

Spokesperson Chaudhri said the Indian occupation forces along the LoC and Working Boundary have been continuously targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons.

He said this year, India has committed more than 2,027 ceasefire violations to date, resulting in 16 martyrdoms and serious injuries to 166 innocent civilians.

Condemning the deplorable targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian occupation forces, he said such senseless acts are in clear violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, and are also against all established humanitarian norms and professional military conduct.

The spokesperson said these egregious violations of international law reflect consistent Indian attempts to escalate the situation along the LoC and are a threat to regional peace and security.
