RAWALPINDI (92 News) – In yet another ceasefire violation by the Indian forces along the Line of Control, a civilian embraced martyrdom while four school children injured in Nakial sector on Friday. In a statement issued by the ISPR, Pakistani troops effectively responded and targeted Indian posts from where fire was coming. The injured children were shifted to hospital for medical assistance. On the other hand, the foreign office summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner to its foreign ministry to protest the latest ceasefire violation.
