| [DAWN] Indian and Pak troops traded cross-border fire Sunday injuring at least one Pak civilian in Janglora village of Sialkot's Bajwat sector, officials said, the latest in a series of festivities that began earlier this month and have claimed at least 20 civilian lives. The maimed person was shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Sialkot where all victims of the recent Indo-Pak festivities have been provided with free medical treatment and facilities. The exchange of fire began when Indian troops resorted to "unprovoked" fire across the border that separates India-held Kashmire and Pakistain's Punjab province, according to an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement. Each country holds part of the Himalayan territory but claims it in full. The two nations have fought two full-scale wars over Kashmire, though tensions have eased since the signing of a 2003 ceasefire. |
