Unprovoked firing from India across the Line of Control killed a 60-year-old man in Kotli, Azad Kashmir on Monday.

A statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations said that the incident took place in Village Oli, District Kotli in the Nikial Sector.

ISPR said that the firing killed Ghias, 60, and traumatised three women who were cutting grass in the fields.

“This blatant Indian aggression is a clear violation of existing Ceasefire Understandings. Pakistan desires peace and tranquility at its borders,” the statement said.

“Any misadventure against people of Pakistan will be befittingly responded at the time and place of our choosing,” the statement said.
