A team of UN military observers has visited the villages
along the International Border with India to get first-hand information on the
situation, Pakistani officials said.
The officials added that the UN Military Observers Group in
India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) team visited areas in Charwah, Chaprar and
Pukhlian sectors on the International Border near Sialkot on last Monday and
Tuesday. The visit was made after Pakistan on October 9 recorded a protest with
the UNMOGIP over the suspected firing from across the border and requested the
UN team to visit the areas.
According to officials, the UN observers met the villagers,
witnessed and gathered a first-hand account of the damage caused to human lives
and properties due to firing.
The team also visited the Combined Military Hospital Sialkot
and met injured civilians. Pakistan says at least 12 citizens have been killed
and 64 injured due to firing.
