Indian Army has used cluster ammunition along the Line of Control deliberately targeting civilian population in clear violation of Geneva Convention and international humanitarian law.

According to the ISPR, the Indian army on the night of 30th and 31st July targeted innocent citizens including women and children in Neelum Valley through artillery using cluster ammunition.

Resultantly, two civilians including a four year old boy martyred while eleven got critically injured.

Because of severe impact on non-combatants, use of cluster ammunition is prohibited under convention on cluster ammunition.

The ISPR said this blatant Indian aggression against all international norms exposes true character of Indian Army and their moral standing. It urged the international community to take notice of this Indian blatant violation of international laws on use of cluster ammunition targeting innocent citizens.
