CHARWA, SEPT 21 (DNA) – At least four civilians, including two women, embraced martyrdom as Indian forces violated ceasefire along Working Boundary late Thursday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

“Indian BSF resorted to unprovoked firing of mortars, targeting civilian population along Working Boundary in village Bini Sulariyan in Charwa sector,” the military’s media wing said in a statement.

Pakistan Rangers Punjab, the ISPR added, befittingly responded on posts targeting civil population.

Ceasefire violations by Indian forces have been frequent since relations between the neighbouring countries worsened over unrest in Indian-held Kashmir and sentencing of Indian spy Kulbushan Jadhav.
