Four Pakistani civilians killed in firing along India border

[DAWN] Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) personnel resorted to unprovoked firing and shelling along the Working Boundary in Sialkot's Zafarwal and Shakargarh sectors on Monday killing four Pak civilians, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

?2 more civilians embraced martyrdom due to Indian unprovoked firing and shelling,? the Pak military?s media wing said.

The ISPR said Indian border forces had resorted to shelling ?on civilian population in Shakargarh sector in villages Sukhmaal, Bheke Chak and Bhurey Chak.?

?Exchange of firing continues. Pak troops [are] targeting Indian BSF positions which are firing in Pakistain area,? said the statement.

The latest casualties on Monday mounted the civilian corpse count on the Pak to four.

Earlier, two civilians, including a woman and an 18-year-old boy died as a result of the firing, the ISPR had said.

A Chenab Rangers man and a civilian also sustained injuries in the firing, sources in the Chenab Rangers had told Dawn.

Sources also said that Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel, who were stationed at the Karole Karishna and Pansar posts in India, targeted Thakar pur and Karole posts on the Pak side.

Both sides continued to trade allegations, with the Indians blaming Pak forces of violating a ceasefire agreement.
