In a brazen violation of ceasefire violation on Friday, the Indian Army deliberately targeted a United Nations vehicle in Chirikot Sector along the road of Control, the Inter-Services PR (ISPR) said.
The vehicle, consistent with ISPR, had two Military Observers on board, who were enroute to interact with ceasefire violation victims in Chirikot's Polas Village.
The ISPR said that it's important in touch in mind that UN vehicles are clearly identifiable from a distance thanks to their distinct make, type and clearly visible markings.
"While the vehicle was damaged, the 2 UNMOs luckily remained unharmed," the military's media wing said.
They were rescued by Pakistan Army and safely taken to Rawalkot.
"Such illegal and unlawful acts against all established international norms, signify mal-intent of Indian Army to focus on not only innocent civilians residing along the road of Control but UN Peace Keepers also ," ISPR said.
It said that the act shows the Indian Army's "complete disregard" for principles enshrined within the UN Charter.
"It is indeed a replacement low for Indian Army," it added.
The ISPR expressed solidarity with the United Nations Military Observers in Pakistan and appreciated "the selfless services rendered" by all members in discharge of their duties mandated by the UN.
