Indian Army opens unprovoked fire targeting UN military observers in Azad Kashmir.

RAWALPINDI -- A United Nations vehicle carrying two military observers has been targeted by Indian troops in unprovoked fire along Line of Control (LOC).

According to a statement released by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Indian Army resorted to unprovoked fire in Chirikot Sector of LOC on Friday. The Indian troops deliberately targeted a UN vehicle with two military observers on board, who were travelling to interact with victims of Indian ceasefire violations in Polas Village, Chirikot Sector.

ISPR said that UN vehicles are clearly recognisable, even from extended distances because of their distinct make and type as well as clearly visible markings. The statement said that the UN vehicle sustained damage but the two military observers came out unharmed. They were safely rescued and evacuated by forces to Rawalakot.
