Residents of Kakran village 38-year-old Ghulam Abbas and a woman Safreen were seriously wounded by cross border firing by the Indian forces.According to civilian population a number of cattle were also killed and wounded from the unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of the Indian forces that particularly target civilian areas. Many houses were partially damaged from the firing of Indian forces which has also forced the civilians to remain indoors for safety.

The heavily militarised LoC and Working Boundary have witnessed sporadic skirmishes and artillery duels since the alleged Indian ‘surgical strike’ last September, in violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Agreement signed by both countries.
