Three soldiers martyred in unprovoked Indian firing across LoC

F.P. Report

RAWALPINDI: Inter Service Public Relation (ISPR) has said that at least three Pakistan soldiers were martyred in unprovoked firing by Indian troops from across the Line of Control (LoC) at Rakhchikri Sector in Rawalakot.

The media wing of military on Tuesday, told that the martyred soldiers were identified as Subedar Muhammad Riaz, Lance Hawaldar Azizullah and Sepoy Shahid Mansab.

ISPR added that Pakistani forces responded to Indian firing befittingly and there were reports of casualties on the other side of the border as well.

Crossfire on the Line of Control (LoC), which divides the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir, saw a spike when tensions between two nuclear powers peaked in the wake of the Feb 14 incident of Pulwama suicide attack in which more than 40 Indian security personnel were killed.

Earlier, on March 2, two Pakistani soldiers and two civilians were martyred when Indian forces had resorted to unprovoked firing from across the Line of Control (LoC).
