SIALKOT: A three-member observer team of the United Nations (UN) visited Kundanpur village on the Working Boundary near Sialkot on Saturday.

Punjab Rangers Spokesman Major Waheed Bukhari told media that the UN team observed the damages and losses in the unprovoked firing by the Indian forces in the area on Friday, 28 August.

Pakistan’s civil and military leadership on Friday assailed Indian forces for flouting all international norms and targeting the country’s civilian population as the two neighbours exchanged the deadliest fire in recent months along the border.

While the Foreign Office summoned India’s high commissioner to register a strong protest over the unprovoked Indian firing, army chief General Raheel Sharif condemned New Delhi for ‘crossing all limits to terrorise Pakistan’s civilian population’ without any regard to all international conventions and norms.
