The Pakistan Foreign Office summoned on Thursday Indian high commissioner Gautam Bambawale over the “unprovoked” cross-border firing by the Indian Army in which two Pakistani soldiers were killed. According to Foreign Office sources, Pakistan “strongly” condemned the firing across the Line of Control, Geo TV reported. India on Thursday said that its army carried out cross-border “surgical strikes” on terrorist launch pads in Pakistani territory. The Foreign Office, earlier in a statement, strongly condemned the “unprovoked ceasefire violations at LoC by Indian forces”, which it termed as “a continuation of a pattern of cease fire violations committed by the Indian forces”. Two Pakistani soldiers were killed in the cross-border firing.
