"Pakistan has condemned the killing of civilians in the latest unprovoked ceasefire violations by India at the Working Boundary," the Foreign Office (FO) said.
The Government of Pakistan has lodged a protest with the Indian government over what it refers to as ceasefire violations by the Indian security forces in Pukhlian.
Two civilians, aged 14 and 22 died, while others including at least three children and two women were injured, the FO said.
The spokesman said the Government of Pakistan offers its condolences and deep sympathies to the bereaved families on the loss of precious lives.
"The unprovoked ceasefire violations were started by India at New Kane and two other posts at 0530 hours today. Pakistani posts responded to this provocation. The Indian troops then opened fire from all their posts in the area targeting civilians and villages," the FO said.
The spokesman said the Pakistani government conveyed its deep concern at the continuous unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian side at the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary and targeting of the civilians.
While condemning the ceasefire violations, the government impressed upon India to stop ceasefire violations and to observe the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding in order to create peace and tranquillity at the LoC and the Working Boundary.
