The Indian Army on Monday accused the Pakistani army of hiding behind the villagers in the Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) to shell Indian civilians living along the Line of Control (LoC) in the Jammu division.
"Pakistan Army – The real face – Unprofessional and Unethical. Hiding behind POJK villagers to shell Indian civilians along the LC (Line of Control). Indian army vows to keep our Awaam (people) secure and unharmed. Mitigate locals' hardship by destroying blind mortar shells in border villages", tweeted Nagrota based White Knight Corps of the Indian army.
