Seven Pakistani soldiers were killed in 'unprovoked' Indian firing across the Line of Control in the Bhimber sector on Sunday night, Inter-Services Public Relations said.

The Pakistan Army responded to Indian firing and targeted Indian posts effectively, ISPR said.

Chief of Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif attended the funeral prayers of the slain soldiers, and ISPR released details of the men who died in the line of fire.
