2 Indian soldiers killed after eight-year-old Pakistani boy dies in cross-LoC firing: ISPR
[DAWN] In a tit-for-tat action, Pakistain Army on Monday destroyed an Indian army post across the Line of Control and killed two soldiers hours after a Pak minor boy lost his life in Indian firing on a border village."Pakistain Army troops neutralised [an] Indian post which targeted a minor along [the] LoC," killing two soldiers, the military's media wing said in a brief statement. Nearly two hours earlier, Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor had said in a tweet that an eight-year-old boy named Ayan was killed due to Indian firing in Janjot Bahadar village of Azad Jammu and Kashmire's Kotli district. "Use of Pellet guns in Indian Occupied Kashmire and blatant targeting of innocent unarmed civilians across LoC exposes [the] true Indian face," he wrote along with a photo of the dear departed boy. Abid Hussain, an official at Khuiratta cop shoppe, told Dawn by telephone that Ayan Zahid, son of Chaudhry Muhammad Zahid was in the courtyard of his house when a bullet fired from across the LoC hit him in the head at about 5pm.
