After Indian Army Hits Back Hard, Pakistan Says Seven Soldiers Killed In LoC Firing
Indian army
The Pakistani military said on Monday that seven of its soldiers had been killed in firing by Indian troops along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Seven soldiers embraced 'shahadat' at the LoC in Bhimber sector in cross-fire LoC violation by Indian troops late last night," said the Inter-Services Public Relations, the army's media wing.
It said Pakistani troops responded to India's "unprovoked firing" and "targeted Indian posts effectively".
Pakistani authorities last week lodged protests with India and with the UN military observers over the targeting of civilian population by Indian troops. Pakistan says the civilian death toll in Indian shelling has risen to at least 25 in the past few weeks.
