ISLAMABAD - Indian Military has been exposed as unexploded cluster bombs found in AJK near Line of Control in presence of local and international media.
Pakistani and Azad Kashmir Authorities have asked the villagers along LoC through social media and WhatsApp messages to remain alert and not to approach any suspicious object as the “enemy was using toy bombs, mortar shells and artillery.”
Local authorities later took a group of reporters to the Noseri area, on the LOC where Badr Munir, a senior government official, briefed them on the escalation.
“Four people have been martyred and 11 others wounded by cluster bombs in two different incidents,” Munir said.
An AFP reporter at the scene saw that the Noseri Bazaar appeared deserted, with shops closed and less traffic than usual on the roads.
Authorities also showed two unexploded cluster bombs to reporters. The site was cordoned off by police to prevent people from getting closer to avoid any further damage.
Munir said a group of experts along with police was searching for more unexploded bombs in the area.
Muhammad Siddique, father of a cluster bomb victim in the area, told reporters his children were playing outside when they found the unexploded weapon and brought that home.
“It exploded as they were playing with it. My son Ayan Ahmad was martyred and 11 people were wounded in the incident,” Siddique said.
Cluster munitions can contain dozens of smaller bomblets that disperse over large areas, often continuing to kill and maim civilians long after they are dropped.
