According to a statement issued by Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) on Wednesday, Indian soldiers targeted Fatehpur and Tahi villages. It added that Pakistan Army gave a befitting response to Indian shelling and destroyed their posts.

Earlier, the Foreign Office summoned a senior Indian diplomat to register protest over continuous ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control.

The FO condemned the deplorable targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian occupation forces stating that ceasefire violations are against all established humanitarian norms and professional military conduct.

Indian forces have continuously been targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars and automatic weapons along the LoC and Working Boundary.
