-ISPR says 11 civilians injured in Indian CFV

RAWALPINDI: Four terrorists were killed during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in North Waziristan, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday.
The security forces conducted the IBO on a terrorist hideout near Kaitu River, North West of Spinwam, North Waziristan late last night, said the military’s media wing.
As soon as troops cordoned off the area, terrorists opened fire in an effort to flee from the area, said the ISPR. However, it added, all the terrorists were killed by security forces.
During intense exchange of fire, Pak Army’s Sepoy Sadam embraced martyrdom while two soldiers got injured.
Earlier, on November 19, two soldiers were martyred in an exchange of fire with terrorists at a check post in South Waziristan last night. The military’s media wing said that terrorists opened fire at a check post near South Waziristan’s Pash Ziarat which was immediately responded to by the personnel of security forces.
Hawaldar Matloob Alam and Sepoy Suleiman Shaukat were martyred in the exchange of firing and one more soldier sustained injuries, said the ISPR. Later Sunday, ISPR said 11 innocent civilians including 6 women & 4 children were injured when Indian Army resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation in Khuiratta Sector along Line of Control (LOC) targeting civil population during a marriage ceremony in Jigjot village with rockets and heavy mortars.
According to the Army’s media wing the Indian Forces were deliberately targeting civil population particularly women and children. Such inhuman act from Indian side reflects lack of morality, unprofessionalism and utter disregard of human rights as well as violation of ceasefire understanding of 2003.–ISPR
