13-Year-Old Killed in Kashmir in Indo- Pak Cross Border Firing

A 13-year-old girl was allegedly killed in Pakistani side of Jammu Kashmir on Sunday in an exchange of gunfire along the border with the Indian-administered side of the region, according to the Pakistani military.

Amid heightened tensions between the South Asian nuclear rivals, the Pakistani Army accused Indian border forces of targeting civilians on the Pakistani side of the disputed Kashmir valley, claiming that the girl’s mother and a 12-year-old boy were also injured due to “indiscriminate” fire.

Due to indiscriminate fire of Indian troops in Mensar village, Bedori Sector, a 13 years old innocent girl, Iqra Shabbir embraced shahadat, while her mother and a 12 years old boy sustained serious injuries,” the army statement said.

The clash was the latest in a series of border skirmishes since India revoked the decades-long special status of the disputed Jammu Kashmir last August, further fueling the already escalating tensions between the longtime rivals.

The Indian military officials accused Pakistan of a similar cross-border cease-fire violation.
