Pakistani authorities today claimed that a woman was killed and six other persons were injured in "unprovoked" Indian Army shelling across the LoC.
A woman was killed and six other persons were injured seriously as a result of unprovoked Indian army shelling at Nakyal sector on Line of Control this morning, Radio Pakistan reported.
Deputy Commissioner Kotli Masoodur Rehman told the state-run Radio channel that the Indian troops resorted to "unprovoked shelling" on the civilian population on LoC late last night.
He accused Indian troops of having directly targeted civilian populations for the first time since their alleged violations of the Line of Control.
He said so far one civilian has been killed and 19 others have been injured since the violation of the cease fire by the Indian troops.
Tensions at the LoC have increased in the last few weeks especially after the killing of five Indian soldiers on August six.
Both sides blame each other for LoC violations and say their action was retaliatory in nature.
