The Foreign Secretary on Friday expressed concern over the deliberate targeting of villages and populated areas by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary in a briefing given to the heads of missions of the permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

During the briefing to the head of missions, the Foreign Secretary also expressed concern over the increase in frequency and intensity of Indian shelling and firing which has led to the death of at least 26 civilians, said the spokesperson for the Foreign Office in a statement.

The FO statement also added that the heads of missions were made aware of the use of heavy artillery, employed by Indian forces on November 9 in the sectors of Shahkot and Jura along the LoC.

Heavy artillery has been used by the Indian armed forces on the disputed border after a gap of 13 years.

Read: Kashmir dialogue

Referring to the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP), the Foreign Secretary reiterated that Pakistan if fully cooperating and providing unrestricted access to the observer mission, however, India has limited the group’s access and is not cooperating.

The heads of mission assured Pakistan that they would convey the concerns to their respective capitals and underscored the need for restraint, observance of ceasefire and dialogue to resolve issues.

The UNSC representatives were informed that the Pakistani armed forces gave a “befitting reply to Indian aggression”.

A briefing over the ceasefire violations was also given by a representative of the Military Operations Directorate.

Tense relations
The latest developments come as tensions simmer between New Delhi and Islamabad over the Kashmir issue and as the past few days have seen incidents of cross-border firing.

Ties between the two countries have deteriorated further as the Indian prime minister stepped up a drive to isolate Pakistan diplomatically after the Uri army base attack in September.

Hours after the attack occurred, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh termed Pakistan a 'terrorist state' and accused Pakistan of involvement.

The Uri attack occurred days before Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was set to address the United Nations General Assembly regarding Indian human rights violations in held Kashmir.

Following the attack, India claimed it conducted a cross-border 'surgical strike' against 'launch pads of terror' in Azad Jammu and Kashmir — a claim Pakistan has strongly rejected.

Pakistan maintains that India is attempting to divert the world's attention away from atrocities committed by government forces in India-held Kashmir.

Pakistan and India recently locked horns over the Kashmir issue when Indian forces stepped up a crackdown against protesters after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by government forces in July.

Why dont pakistani soldiers share their body armours with civilians at border which no indian bullet or shell can pierce through, lets make them immortal too. Sarcasm apart, i think your army had enough, now its time to run to UN. Civillian casuality on either side is always a bad news.

Victim card diplomacy

How can a nuclear power be victim? The reason to have an army is failed if the army is not able to protect it's countryman.

We have suffered casualties, those 2 Pakistani soldiers who died in the beginning of this BS way back in October. Everything else has just been injuries.

We are complaining because attacking civilians isn't right, you only have too look at the statistics to see who is targeting civilians on the LOC.

Along the LOC they are residing, if it was our administered area we would have evacuated them by now..
The reality is your army failed to evacuate them and now crying foul.

Evacuating thousands of people is harder than it sounds, not to mention your country is no better. We have still hit your civilians many times.

so you are intentionally hitting our civilians because we are hitting terrorist in surgical strikes inside your territory. Very well!

By the way Indian army had long ago asked citizen to move. Your army is not capable or willingly does not want to evacuate citizens. That's all!

You stupid idiot during the mangla dam extension they asked villagers to move away in mirpur ( AJK) and the army helped us and they compensated us and even in england the families owning fields were given money so in what way the army wouldn't help its own people living in LOC area and some times people be reluctant to leave there homes behind and the army can't force them to.

EDIT:Also i would like to add the loc is also located in mirpur to and it would be stupid not to move the people who live in the loc area out of laziness.
