Two civilians martyred and just as many injured by Indian shellingISLAMABAD : Two Pakistan Army soldiers embraced martyrdom in unprovoked and indiscriminate firing by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) on Saturday, said a statement released by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The latest aggressive move by India came on the same day that Pakistan released an Indian Air Force (IAF) wing commander who was shot down while engaging Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets. The army’s media wing named the martyred soldiers as Havaldar Abdur Rub and Naik Khuram. In response, the Pakistan Army targetted the Indian posts and “gave a befitting response” and there were reports of casualties to Indian troops and damage to their posts. According to the military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor, the Indian aircraft crossed the LoC, the PAF retaliated and two Indian aircraft were shot down in Pakistani airspace.
