Pakistan’s army says Indian troops kill woman in Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: Cross-border fire from Indian troops along the disputed border with Kashmir killed one woman and wounded an eight-year-old girl, the Pakistani military said on Monday.
The military said in a statement that a combination of mortars and heavy fire hit the villages of Jandrot and Khuiratta in Azad Kashmir.
It accused Indian forces of “deliberately targeting” civilians.
There was no immediate comment from New Delhi.
Pakistan and India often trade accusations of violating the cease-fire in Kashmir. The Himalayan region is divided between them and claimed by both in its entirety.
According to Azad Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan, Indian troops have stepped up cease-fire violations since the coronavirus outbreak was first reported in the region. So far, at least 59 people have tested positive for the virus there.
