Islamabad: Pakistan shot dead six Indian soldiers in a “befitting response” to New Delhi’s ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, the military’s media wing said on Tuesday.

In its statement, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the ceasefire violations occurred in the Tatta Pani Sector at the LoC. “Indian fire had martyred three civilians including seven years old boy,” it noted.

The ISPR further said: “Pakistan Army targeted Indian posts. Six Indian soldiers including an officer killed, many injured two bunkers destroyed.”

India’s firing and ceasefire violations have notably increased in frequency, local reports said.
