Pakistan's army has said Indian troops fired across the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region, killing another soldier and bringing the death toll to six in less than 24 hours.

On Thursday, Pakistan said at least three of its soldiers and five Indian soldiers were killed, in addition to two civilians on the Pakistan side, after a cross-border exchange of fire in the disputed region, prompting a denial by New Delhi that there were fatalities among its forces.

In a tweet on Friday, Pakistan army spokesman General Asif Ghafoor said "another brave son of soil lost his life in the line of duty" in Buttal town.

"Intermittent exchange of fire continues," Ghafoor tweeted on Thursday.

He confirmed to Al Jazeera that the casualty figure on Thursday included three civilians.

In efforts to divert attention from precarious situation in IOJ&K,Indian Army increases firing along LOC.
3 Pakistani soldiers embraced shahadat. Pakistan Army responded effectively. 5 Indian soldiers killed, many injured, bunkers damaged. Intermittent exchange of fire continues.


An Indian army spokesperson denied the Pakistani army's statement on Thursday. "No casualties. This assertion is wrong," the spokesperson was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

In a statement quoted by news agencies, the Indian army said that from about 7am Pakistan violated a ceasefire between the two nations in the heavily militarised LoC.

Kashmir status scrapped
The developments come during a period of increasing tensions between India and Pakistan after New Delhi's Hindu nationalist government last week revoked special status for Indian-administered Kashmir.

The decision by India blocks the right of the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir to frame its own laws and allows non-residents to buy property there.

Telephone lines, internet, and television networks have been blocked and there are restrictions on movement and assembly.
More CFVs and more chances of Kashmir receiving International attention. This logic simply baffles me.
 
UNSC move
The UNSC is due to meet behind closed doors on Friday at the request of China and Pakistan to discuss India's decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, diplomats said.

Any action by the 15-member council is unlikely as the United States traditionally backs India and China supports Pakistan.

"Pakistan will not provoke a conflict. But India should not mistake our restraint for weakness," Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote in a letter to the UNSC on Tuesday.

"If India chooses to resort again to the use of force, Pakistan will be obliged to respond, in self-defense, with all its capabilities."

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called on India and Pakistan to refrain from any steps that could affect the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. Guterres also said he was concerned about reports of restrictions on the Indian side of Kashmir.

The council adopted several resolutions in 1948 and in the 1950s on the dispute between India and Pakistan over the region, including one which says a plebiscite should be held to determine the future of the mostly Muslim Kashmir.

Another resolution also calls upon both sides to "refrain from making any statements and from doing or causing to be done or permitting any acts which might aggravate the situation".

I don't think US will veto in favor of India, and if she vetos, Pakistan will have Afghanistan card.
 
May be fake, maybe real. But, Pakistan's diplomatic stance is matured. It is not accepting that its troops are firing and is crying for its own troops being killed by the IA. Very good. Make India an international Pariah state. Better to move through UNSC.

But, the guy above looks more like a fake Poet. Look at his round face. Can it be that the proteinless IA troops all look like him? Bloody coward India!!
 
Looks like you didnt get my question. Pleae show me if Kashmir is designated as UN intervened and regularly discussed in UN under SC charter by permamnenet and not permamnent members. Does UN obliges itself endorsing its authority over its jurisdiction in Kashmir like it does in many such disputed territories like SCS, Somalia, Phillipines etc.

Your question has been answered by @M. Sarmad

Now don't change the question and commit suicide as he said if truth is hard to handle for you

IT WAS SARCASTIC TWEET. THERE IS NO TRUTH IN IT
Please stop posting fake stuff if ur not going to at least mention on the tweet it is sarcastic. Dont contribute to fake news. Look how much fake news was generated by ur tweet. Dont act like bhakts.
 
Pakistan is not prepared.

@Verve
Nobody else to be blamed but Pakistanis who kept sleeping and voting for the corrupt over a plate of Biryani. Yes this is not a political thread and yes we should keep political differences aside but this is the sad reality. If today Pakistan is not prepared its because of the loot and plunder of the past decade and more with a non existing foreign policy.
Heck even now people are divided and a lot is busy spreading propaganda against this government when nearlly after 50 years UNSC has taken Pakistan's stance and Indians are compelled to call it diplomatic defeat of Modi government. This is the first time in a long history where Pakistan responded militarily to Indian aggression when no one was expecting it under the leadership of IK. Yet people do not see this. For them not paying taxes while demanding everything from the government is a far higher priority than doing the right thing for once and standing together.
So yes Pakistan is not prepared and we the people are the reason for it.
 
I don't think US will veto in favor of India, and if she vetos, Pakistan will have Afghanistan card.
let's see its matter of next 10 hours. Most probably session will be at afternoon or evening around 3pm

There will not be any voting at the unsc. It's just a closed door consultation. Also no statement will be issued in media so there are little chances of any news coming out in media.Typically, no state objects to an informal meeting because there is no formal outcome, no resolution, no votes, and no records are maintained.
