A 20 years old boy was injured on Monday due to Indian troops' unprovoked firing across Line of Control (LoC).

In a statement today, the Inter-Services Public Relations said that Indian Army troops initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation in Baghsar Sector along LOC targeting civil population.

Due to the firing, the 20-year-old resident of Mehtika village received critical injuries and was evacuated to nearby hospital for necessary medical care.

On Friday, Indian troops initiated unprovoked firing in Rakhchikri and Baroh sectors along the LoC. Due to the firing, 35-year-old Shakeela Bibi, a resident of village Kirni and 40-year-old Nazia Bibi, a resident of village Gahi, sustained serious injuries.

After the violation, the Foreign Office (FO) summoned a senior Indian diplomat to register Pakistan's strong protest over the ceasefire violations. According to the FO, 14 people have died this year due to India's firing.

"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," FO said.
