The Ministry of Expternal Affairs, on Tuesday, summoned a senior Pakistani High Commission official in New Delhi over the death of three Army personnel during an infiltration bid on Sunday.
The ministry, in the press release, called the attack an infiltration bid, further indicating the country's concern over the incidents of unprovoked cross-border ceasefire violations.
The ministry also said that despite repeated calls for restraint and adherence to the ceasefire understanding of 2003 for maintaining peace and tranquillity, Pakistan forces have carried out 1,591 incidents of unprovoked ceasefire violations along the LoC and IB in 2018 so far.
Two heavily-armed Pakistani intruders and three Indian soldiers were killed on Sunday, 21 October, in a gunfight after the Army foiled an infiltration bid along the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir.
