Following effective response by Pakistan Army in which nine Indian soldiers were killed on Sunday when India violated ceasefire across the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said India has been suffering from a state of confusion.

"We reserve a right to defence upon provocation," the minister said, while urging the United Nations to take notice of India's aggression in Kashmir.

Qureshi further emphasised that the Kashmir dispute has gained momentum at the global level and a black day would be observed on Oct 27.

Earlier today, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor said that Pakistan Army had killed nine Indian soldiers and injured many others upon effective response to the latest Indian ceasefire violations and deliberately targeting civilians in Jura, Shahkot and Nousehri sectors along the LoC.

He also mentioned that a soldier of Pakistan Army and five civilians embraced martyrdom, while two soldiers and five civilians sustained injuries in an exchange of fire. Two bunkers of the Indian army were also destroyed in firing by Pakistani troops.
