Quoting the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the Dawn said, “those killed in Sialkot have been identified as Ghulam Mustafa, Rahat and Muhammad Boota. Zarina Bibi, an 18-year-old, was killed in Rawalakot.”
“Episodic attacks of firing and shelling which commenced in Sialkot on Wednesday morning at 8:30am are said to be ongoing and Pakistani troops are responding with retaliatory firing,” the newspaper quoted Punjab Rangers as having said.
