Indian troops on Wednesday committed an unprovoked ceasefire violation while targeting a UN military observer vehicle visiting Khanjar Sector along the Line of Control.
“A vehicle was carrying UNMOGIP [United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan] officers Major Emmanual of the Philippines and Major Mirko of Croatia, who were on a visit to the LoC [came under attack by the Indian troops],” a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
According to the military’s media wing, their vehicle was flying a blue UNMOGIP flag in line with protocol.
Both officers are safe. They got off the vehicle and moved away before later returning to their location, the communique added.
On May 17, Pakistan Army had already lodged a protest with the UN military observers against India’s recent aggression and firing on civilians from across the de facto border.
