A villager on Pakistan side of Kashmir was killed on Saturday by the unprovoked firing of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) personnel along the Line of Control (LoC), said military.
A statement by Pakistan military's Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, "A sixty-year-old civilian Muhammad Aslam, resident of Polas village, was cutting grass and wood one hundred to 150 metres inside the LoC in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) when he came under Indian firing and embraced martyrdom." Pakistani troops are befittingly responding to Indian firing, ISPR added.
Earlier on January 30, an exchange of fire across the Working Boundary between Pakistan and India also left two Pakistani women injured and several houses damaged.
The Himalayan territory of Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan by the United Nations monitored de facto border of the Line of Control.
