MUZAFFARABAD: Two civilians were killed and one woman sustained critical wounds in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) as “ruthless shelling” by Indian troops from across the restive Line of Control (LoC) continued on Saturday, according to the Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Major Gen Asif Ghafoor.
The casualties occurred in Tata Pani and Jandrot sector along the LoC, which was calm since the morning but became “hot” in the afternoon after Indian troops resorted to heavy mortar and artillery shelling.
The violation came a day after Pakistan released Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Abhinandan Varthaman as “a goodwill gesture” for promotion of peace and stability in the region of South Asia.
