Unprovoked Indian firing along LoC injures seven civilians

RAWALPINDI (92 News) –At least three civilians were injured in an unprovoked Indian firing along the Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir on Thursday.

In a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian troops initiated unprovoked firing at Batal, Jandrot and Hotspring sectors at the LoC.

"Pakistani troops effectively engaging Indian positions. Seven civilians injured due to the Indian firing," the statement said.
