IslamabadPakistan on Thursday summoned Indias deputy high commissioner in Islamabad J P Singh, a day after two civilians were killed in a ceasefire violation allegedly by Indian forces on the Line of Control.
Pakistans Foreign Office said in a statement that it condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian Army in Dewara and Kakran villages along the LoC on Wednesday that also left three others injured.
