RAWALPINDI/MUZAFFARABAD: Indian forces on Saturday resorted to unprovoked firing across the Line of Control (LoC) resulting in martyrdom of a minor girl, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.

Indian troops targeted civilian population in Chirikot Sector across the LoC, the statement said.

As a consequence, an eight-year-old girl was martyred in Polas village, while celebrating Eid with her family.

Pakistan Army gave a fitting response to Indian firing, which silenced enemy guns, it added.
