The latest incident happened after just over two weeks of Pakistan’s ceasefire killing two soldiers across the border.

Since September this year, Pakistan has carried off over 2000 ceasefire violations killing over 20 soldiers and civilians across the state. “Jammu And Kashmir: 13 civilians killed in Azad Kashmir due to Ceasefire violators by Indian troops and in retaliation Two Soldiers, Civilian Killed In Ceasefire Violation By Pakistan Troops In J&K”, tweeted Lord Nazir Ahmed, Member, House of Lords, United Kingdom.
