Seven Pakistani soldiers were killed at the Line of Control (LoC) in retaliatory firings by the Indian soldiers late last night, reported Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

Responding to Indian firing, said ISPR, Pakistani troops targeted Indian posts.

On November 9, an Indian soldier was killed in Pakistani firing in the Machhal sector of Jammu and Kashmir last week; while on November 8, one soldier was killed and two others were injured as Pakistan Rangers resorted to unprovoked firing in Nowshera sector.

More than 100 incidents of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops have had happened so far, following India's surgical strike across the LoC on September 29.
