Pakistan says 7 soldiers killed in firing by Indian forces

14 November, Islamabad

Pakistan today claimed that Indian forces had killed its seven soldiers in shelling last night at Bhimber sector, across the Line of Control (LoC).

Pakistan’s military media wing, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), said in a statement that seven soldiers were killed in Bhimber sector, on the Line of Control in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The ISPR said that Pakistani troops also responded to the shelling by Indian troops and targeted the Indian posts effectively. T

he relations between India and Pakistan have strained since the killing of terrorist Burhan Wani by Indian security forces in Kashmir, leading to unrest in the Valley, which India said, was fuelled by Pakistan.

Pakistan backed terrorists have been continuously targeting security forces in the Valley for several months leading to deaths of civilians and soldiers.
