After reports of seven Pakistani soldiers killed by Indian troops across LoC surfaced on 14 November, the Pakistan Foreign Ministry has summoned Indian High Commissioner Gautam Bambawale in Islamabad.
Earlier today, nter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that seven Pakistani soldiers were killed at the Line of Control (LoC) in cross border firings by Indian soldiers late last night.
Responding to Indian firing, said ISPR, Pakistani troops targeted Indian posts.

We salute our valiant soldiers who render ultimate sacrifices for national cause," Pakistan Spokesperson Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nafees Zakaria said in a series of tweets.
