RAWALPINDI: One girl was martyred and two citizens were injured Saturday following an incidence of unprovoked firing by Indian Army in the Nakyal sector of the Line of Control (LOC), the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement issued earlier last night.

However, the Pakistan Army immediately responded "befittingly", with full force.

The Indian Army targeted a village with the use of "small arms and mortars" and, as a result, Tashiba was martyred, while two other persons, including the deceased's sister, were left wounded.

22-year-old Tashiba ? the daughter of Muhammad Iqbal ? and her sister Aneeqa, 18, both hail from Balakot village.
