Pakistan and India have agreed to defuse tensions triggered by recent border clashes along the Line of Control (LoC), the two sides announced following talks between their senior military officials on Wednesday.
The director general military operations (DGMOs) from the two sides talked to each other on a ‘hotline’ and discussed the tensions along the de facto border in the disputed region of Kashmir, said a spokesperson for the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Though the Pakistan Army lodged a strong protest with India over Tuesday’s ceasefire violation which claimed the life of a Pakistani soldier, the two sides reached an understanding to de-escalate tensions. “Both sides agreed on the need to reduce tension on the LoC,” the spokesperson added.
