UN mission found no evidence of Indian 'surgical strikes'
ISLAMABAD: The UN Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) "has not directly observed any firing across the LoC related to the latest incident," Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said Saturday, in a reference to Indian army's claim of surgical strikes in Pakistan.
The United Nations said its mission tasked with monitoring the ceasefire line between India and Pakistan "has not directly observed" any firing along the LoC.
"They are obviously aware of the reports of these presumed violations and are talking to the relevant concerned authorities," he said.
He said the UN Military Observer Group (UNMOGIP) was "aware" of reports of "presumed ceasefire violations" and is in contact with concerned authorities for further information.
"The Secretary General also recalls the role played by UNMOGIP, which is deployed to observe, to the extent possible, developments pertaining to the strict observance of the 1971 ceasefire to report thereon to the Secretary General," he said.
