Pakistani military opened fire on an Indian fishing vessel, there is a deceased
The Pakistani Maritime Security Agency fired at an Indian fishing vessel. This was reported by the NDTV channel.
The incident occurred in the Arabian Sea. There were seven fishermen on board. As a result of indiscriminate shooting, one person hid in a cabin, but received three bullets in the chest and died. The ship's captain was wounded and taken to a hospital in the Indian state of Gujarat. The Indian side claims that the fishermen were outside the 12-mile economic zone of the countries and did not provoke the Pakistani military.
In February, Pakistan admitted that it is holding 270 fishermen with Indian citizenship in prisons. In India, 77 Pakistani fishermen were arrested.
In December 2019, the nuclear powers Pakistan and India fired on the border area in the disputed Kashmir. Two Pakistanis and two Indians, including a civilian, were killed in the shootings. Both sides blamed each other for the start of the shelling. Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, in particular, accused India of trying to distract the population from the mass protests taking place in this country, switching its attention to the problems with Islamabad.
