  • DG ISPR says Indian forces resorted to shelling from across the LoC in Jura, Shahkot and Nousehri sectors.
  • Pakistan military effectively responded to Indian aggression and killed nine of its soldiers, besides destroying two bunkers.
  • Asif Ghafoor says Indian media falsely claimed targeting of alleged camps. It should have courage to get access to occupied valley and cover damages caused by Pakistan Army.

(Karachi) At least six people, including a soldier embraced martyrdom while seven suffered injuries as Indian forces resorted to shelling from across the Line of Control in Jura, Shahkot and Nousehri sectors in Azad and Jammu Kashmir on Sunday.

In a twitter message, the DG ISPR stated that the Pakistan military effectively responded to Indian aggression and killed nine of its soldiers, besides destroying two bunkers. He said several Indian soldiers were also injured in the incident.

DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor pointed out that the Indian troops had to raise while flag in order to retrieve the bodies of their dead soldiers.

In another tweet the DG ISPR stated that two more civilians lost their lives as a result of Indian brutality. He added due to effective and befitting response from Pakistan Army, Indian guns are silent as of now to undertake evacuation of their dead and injured.

DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor said that Indian media falsely claimed targeting of alleged camps. He maintained that Indian media should have courage to get access to occupied valley and cover damages caused by Pakistan Army. "All your previous claims met their fate so shall this one," he tweeted.

He added the Indian troops deliberately targeted the civilian population, killing innocent citizens.

Indian forces in occupied Kashmir have gone "berserk", Raja Farooq Haider, prime minister of Pakistan's Azad Kashmir region, said in a tweet, adding that the civilian casualties and injuries were in the Muzaffarabad and Neelum districts.

"This is the height of savagery. The world must not stay silent over it," he said in his tweet with the hashtag #KashmirNeedsAttention.

The nuclear-armed neighbours have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir. Situation in Occupied Kashmir took an ugly turn when India withdrew constitutional provisions on August 5 that gave Jammu and Kashmir more autonomy than any other Indian state.

In retaliation to Modi's government's move, India flooded the region with additional troops, and imposed curfew-like restrictions to keep a lid on protests.

Although many curbs, including those on movement have been eased, mobile telephone and internet connections in the Kashmir valley, home to around seven million people, remain cut off.

New Delhi insists that its move in August was essential to integrate Kashmir fully into India and bring development to the Himalayan region, but there is anger and discontent among many locals over the decision.

Despite the curbs, Kashmiris have come out on to the streets, and many shops and other commercial establishments in the held valley have remained mostly shuttered in protests against the withdrawal of the special status.

India has long accused Pakistan of fuelling an armed insurgency in Kashmir, a charge that Islamabad denies.
