One civilian dies, 4 hurt in Indian firing, says Pak army

ISLAMABAD, Sept 13 (Xinhua): Pakistani army said on Sunday that one civilian was killed and four others were injured in Indian forces' indiscriminate firing along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region.

An army statement said the Indian troops committed "unprovoked ceasefire violations along the LoC, targeting civil population with automatics and mortars in Hotspring and Rakhchikri sectors."

A girl was killed while four civilians including a 75-year-old woman and two young boys sustained injuries, according to the statement.

The Pakistan army responded effectively, targeting those posts which initiated fire, the statement said.

Pakistan and India had declared ceasefire along the LoC, the de facto border between both countries in the disputed Kashmir region. However, both sides routinely exchange fire and accuse each other of ceasefire violations.
