Resultantly, two civilians including a four-year old boy were martyred while 11 got critically injured. Because of severe impact on non-combatants, the use of cluster ammunition is prohibited under the Convention on Cluster Ammunition.

The ISPR said that this blatant Indian aggression against all international norms exposes true character of Indian army and their moral standing.

It also said that it’s time for the international community to take notice of this Indian blatant violation of international laws on use of cluster ammunition targeting innocent citizens.
