In retaliation to India's unprovoked ceasefire violations in Jura, Shahkot and Nousehri sectors along Line of Control (LoC), nine Indian soldiers were killed while several others injured in early hours of Sunday.
The Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor in a tweet said that two bunkers of Indian Army were also destroyed during exchange of fire while one soldier and three civilians embraced martyrdom. As result of Indian ceasefire violations, two soldiers and five civilians sustained injuries.
"Targeting innocent civilians by Indian Army is an attempt to justify their false claims of targeting alleged camps," he tweeted. The injured civilians were immediately evacuated to District hospitals for medical aid.
He said that the Indian military will always get befitting response to ceasefire violations, adding Pakistan Army shall protect innocent civilians along LoC and inflict unbearable cost to Indian Army.
He said that Indian lies to justify their false claims and preparations for a false flag operation will continue to be exposed with truth. "This they should think before initiating unprovoked ceasefire violations and respect military norms by avoiding to target innocent civilians," he said.
