| [The News (Pak)] Pakistain on Tuesday summoned a senior Indian diplomat to register its strong protest over ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) by New Delhi's forces which caused serious injuries to six civilians. The May 4 ceasefire violations across the LoC had occurred at the Bagsar sector. "Condemning the deplorable targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian occupation forces, it was underscored that such senseless acts are in clear violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, and are also against all established humanitarian norms and professional military conduct," read a statement by the the Foreign Office spokesperson. "These egregious violations of international law reflect consistent Indian attempts to escalate the situation along the LoC and are a threat to regional peace and security," it added. According to the blurb, the Indian forces' indiscriminate and unprovoked firing severely injured six Pak citizens — Nazima Bibi, 55; Zareena Begum, 50; Jamil and Waheed, both 45; Shaheen Begum, 30; and Aqeel, 12; residents of the Khaulian, Penga, and Bandala villages. |
