In a heartbreaking incident, 7-year-old Irtza, son of Lieutenant Colonel Zaheer, embraced martyrdom following unprovoked shelling by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC).
The attack occurred during the night between May 6 and 7 in areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The incident is yet another example of cowardly aggression by Indian troops targeting innocent civilians. The Pakistani nation is grieving over the loss of yet another young life due to India’s repeated violations of ceasefire agreements.
Indian forces launched cross-border attacks during the night, deliberately targeting civilian areas. Among the casualties was Irtza.
This latest act of hostility, particularly targeting children, has been condemned as an inhumane and barbaric violation of international norms. The Pakistani military has vowed a strong and effective response to avenge the loss of innocent lives.
